As we stood there older than men
|
And younger than the boys (that's right)
|
We were as still as the wind
|
That blows on a hot August night
|
|
And you were lonesome as a jukebox
|
But deadly just the same
|
I could be as gentle as a newborn
|
Then spit into the eye of a hurricane
|
|
And we knew how to laugh
|
And we knew how to cry
|
Yeah, we sure knew how to live
|
But we don't ever
|
|
Never say die, never say die
|
|
I guess you'd say we had a pact
|
These words we knew so well (that's right)
|
Still they remained unspoken
|
And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell
|
|
Once I was afraid of love
|
But when it's your brother those things change
|
'Cause love is just another word for trust
|
So hear me when I say
|
|
Never say die, never say no
|
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
|
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
|
And your own tears you'll cry
|
When you're brought up to believe
|
That it's the strong who survive
|
Never say die
|

|
Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning)
|
Through the pouring rain (through the rain)
|
And we'll be standing like a soldier
|
Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right)
|
|
They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want written)
|
On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie)
|
Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that died there)
|
So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry)
|
|
My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
|
And it's these three words that come to me
|
As I kiss this world good bye
|
|
Never say die, never say no
|
You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
|
When it's your own blood you'll bleed
|
And your own tears you'll cry
|
When you're brought up to believe
|
That it's the strong who survive
|
Never say die, never say die... (that's right)
