Lost Years

We grew up quiet
Behind the glass
The world stood still
The moments passed
No hand to hold
No crowded room
Just faces fading
Through the gloom

We learned to laugh
Through borrowed screens
Built little worlds
From broken dreams
We missed the noise
The city lights
We learned to talk
In sleepless nights

They called us lost
But we survived
We found a way
To stay alive

These were our lost years
But we are here
We are alive
And we believe
These were our lost years
But we are here
We found our hearts
We learned to dream

We wore our masks
And silent pride
We watched the time
Just drift aside
We held our breath
Afraid to fall
But in the dark
We heard the call

To dance again
To feel the sound
To build it up
From solid ground
We fell apart
We came back new
The world moved on
But so did we too

They called us weak
But we are flame
We wrote our scars
And signed our name

These were our lost years
But we are here
We are alive
And we believe
These were our lost years
But we are here
We found our hearts
We learn free dream

We do not need your sympathy
We need a chance to try
To fail
To rise
To live our lives

These were our lost years
But we are here
We are alive
And we believe

These were our lost years
But we are here
We found our hearts
We learned to dream
We are young
We believe
