STORY:
Years have passed.
Now an imprisoned old man still
languishing in a Roman jail as he awaits
his promised audience with Caesar, Paul looks back
over his own life, recalling and reflecting on
his own youth for his youthful jailers.
“I was young and now I am old…”
– from Psalm 37:25 (NIV)
lyrics
LYRICS:
(Paul reflective):
I was young once, too
My dreams were
Bright and new
Just like you
Wild and free
I’d sail the seven seas
Strange, how those dreams came true
But I never dreamed I’d
Find myself here
In prison
So old and
All alone
(Paul energized):
When I was one and twenty
A young man in my prime
I had a dream or so it seemed
The world was young and
So was I
My teachers never taught me
One truth they could not see
When I was one and twenty, boys
Young and fancy free
When I was one and thirty
Still young and in my prime
A whole new world had opened wide
My dreams were young and
So was I
My teachers never taught me
One truth they could not know
When I was one and thirty, boys
Young and on
My own
(Bridge)
I
I was
I was young
I was young once
I was young once, too
I was young once, too free
I was young once, too free for – all the world to see
So now
I’m pushin’ sixty
No longer in my prime
I never dreamed the world could seem
To age so fast and
So could I
Time to tell my teachers
One truth we did not know
But lookin’ back we were runnin’ fast
Lost – but did
Not know
My teachers
Never taught me
One truth I’ve come to see
So now I’m pushin’ sixty, boys
But still I’m young and
Free
