If you could show me the things I'd see
When I was only seventeen
I'd find myself in disbelief
Of the man that I would come to be
'Cause things were never as they seemed to be
Back when I was only seventeen
And no one told me that I could be
Just whatever I dreamed
So gone are the days
Gone are the days
When I was younger
I ran away
Now that I am stronger
Now I'm no younger than the golden age
From the days of my fathers
When they decided that they were through
With the treasures they were after
So I set out upon a journey to
Discover what I'm made of
And I'd never guess at how far I'd come
At the age of only 21
So gone are the days
Gone are the days
When I was younger
I ran away
Now that I am stronger
