We Are Young
Moffatts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was a little scared
I never knew what I could do
It was like a light
In the middle of the night when I realized
That fear was something I could lose
I'll never turn around , anymore
You can run away with me
We are young , we are free
If you only believe
That everything you want it not so far away
We are young , we are free, forever
Everywhere to go, everything to see
If you want to know
Just take my hand and come with me
Just another , living my own way
If you take a chance
Then you can your fantasy
I'll never turn around , anymore
We are young we are free
You can run away with me
We are young , we are free
If you only believe
That everything you want it not so far away
We are young , we are free, forever
If you don't believe in all of your dreams
Then your fear will never go away
If you open your eyes I kno you will see
That we're and we are free
We are young we are free
You can run away with me
We are young , we are free
If you only believe
That everything you want it not so far away
We are young , we are free, forever
The Moffatts's song We Are Young is an uplifting anthem that speaks to the idea of living in the moment, taking chances, and embracing fearlessness. The opening lyrics speak to remembering someone who helped the singer overcome their fears and realize that fear is something that can be conquered. It is a powerful moment, likened to a light in the middle of the night, where realization dawns on the singer and they realize that fear is not something that they have to surrender to. The lines "I'll never turn around anymore" suggest that the singer is leaving their fear behind and forging ahead into a new, exciting future.
The chorus of the song reinforces this idea of being young and free, and inspires the listener to run away with the singer and embrace life to its fullest. The line "everything you want it not so far away" is a reminder that the things we desire in life are not out of reach, and that sometimes all we need is a little faith and courage to seize our dreams. The song invokes a sense of adventure and possibility, and the repeated refrain of "We are young, we are free" is a rallying cry for living life on one's terms.
The bridge of the song reiterates the theme of fearlessness and the importance of chasing one's dreams. The singer reminds listeners that if you don't believe in your dreams, fear will never go away. The final line, "That we are and we are free" encapsulates the central theme of the song - that youth and freedom are precious gifts that should be treasured and embraced.

I was afraid of the unknown

A sudden realization
In the middle of the night when I realized
A moment of clarity
That fear was something I could lose
I could overcome my fears
I'll never turn around , anymore
I won't look back

You'll always be afraid
If you open your eyes I kno you will see
Be aware of the opportunities around you
That we're and we are free
We're young and free
