Young Again
Chris Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I dreamed of a place in the sky
Playing in the fields
Battling with my shields
Bows made out of twine
I wish I could see this world again
Through those eyes
See the child in me
Never growing old
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
We want to feel young
We want to feel young again
When I was a boy
I searched for a world that's unknown
All we have is fun
Everybody runs
Until the sun goes down
I wish I could see this world again
Through those eyes
See the child in me
In my fantasy
Never growing old
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
Will we ever feel young again
We want to feel young
We want to feel young again
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Woah oh oh oh
"Young Again" by Chris Jones reflects on the innocence and joy of childhood and the desire to recapture those feelings as adults. The first verse sets the stage by describing the dreams of the singer when they were a young boy. They had a longing for an imaginary place in the sky where they could play in fields and engage in adventures, using shields and bows made from simple objects like twine. The singer yearns to see the world again through the eyes of their younger self and reconnect with the sense of wonder and excitement they once experienced.
The chorus reinforces the theme of the song, asking if it is possible to feel young again. By repeating the question "Will we ever feel young again," it highlights the universal desire to recapture the joy and carefree nature of youth. The repetition also emphasizes the longing and uncertainty surrounding the idea. The phrase "We want to feel young again" expresses the collective longing of the individuals, as if they are speaking on behalf of everyone who shares the desire to recapture their youth.
In the second verse, the singer expands on their search for a world unknown. It suggests a desire for adventure and exploration, a longing to break free from the limitations of adulthood and find the same sense of fun and freedom they once had. The line "All we have is fun, everybody runs, until the sun goes down" paints a picture of carefree enjoyment, where everyone joins in the exhilaration of the moment. The singer again expresses their wish to see this world from their childhood perspective and rediscover the childlike qualities within themselves.
The bridge section introduces a catchy and anthemic "Woah oh oh" refrain, adding an emotional and energetic element to the song. It serves as a rallying cry, bringing together the collective desire of people to feel young again. The repetition of the refrain emphasizes the strength of the longing and the power of unity in the shared experience. Overall, "Young Again" captures the universal yearning to reconnect with the innocence, joy, and boundless energy of youth, reflecting a desire to escape the pressures and responsibilities of adulthood and recapture the magic of childhood.
