When we were young

Looking back on days gone by. We were something.

When we were young
We chased the sun
Against a wind we called our own
An endless sky was ours to roam
When we were young 

Stars in our eyes
Hearts on our sleeves 
Flags flying high for all to see
We lost more than we ever won
When we were young

No mountain stood too high for us to climb 
We wouldn’t yield or be denied
Time was on our side 
When we were young
When we were young 

We tried so hard to fall in love 
No dream was big enough for us
We thought we’d never die
When we were young
Oh, we were so young

When we were young 
We chased the sun 
Against a wind we called our own
We took the long way home
When we were young

Stars in our eyes 
Hearts on our sleeves 
Flags waving bold for all to see 
We never learned to run
When we were young
Together we were one 
Back when we were young 
Oh, we were so young
When we were young

Where is love tonight?

By Christopher Van Name

Whenever she goes away I miss her. Still hard after all these years. Hold onto love. It may never come again.

The last tear

By Christopher Van Name

You can’t help someone who won’t help themselves and take ownership of their own life, their own decisions, and live with the consequences of their actions. There comes a time when you have to detach with love.

Rust

By Christopher Van Name

It’s human nature to cling to life until our last breath. We watch our loved ones grow old and outlive their friends and loved ones. They become isolated and lonely. You stay too long, you turn to rust.

Look at us now

Everyone changes as the years go by. Making a long lasting relationship takes work and a love that endures.

The Sun

By Howard Aronson

The song is about war despair no light at the end of the tunnel. And it's all because the sycophants, the people who look down on us for their own gain, as they rule the world. The sky is dark there is no sun there is no warmth there is no hope. The sky is just basically a roof that keeps out the light and if I ever see the light again it will be short-term. They will always be sycophants that come along and take control. It's been like that since the start of time. This lyric is very abstract, and there's a lot of ways you can interpret it. Even I'm having a tough time explaining why I wrote it and what it all means.

Leave Me Here

By Ari Wilde

This song is about a person who's unfair and unkind to you, but it can also be used as metaphor for depression.

The Stallion

By Edward McBride

This song is an analogy comparing a wild stallion with young males bursting with testosterone. Told through the eyes of one woman who will not succumb to the temptation or pressure.
