As we stood there older than men
And younger than the boys (thats 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 dont ever
Never say die, never say die
I guess youd say we had a pact
These words we knew so well (thats right)
Still they remained unspoken
And wed take them to the fiery gates of hell
Once I was afraid of love
But when its 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 dont let go
When its your own blood youll bleed
And your own tears youll cry
When youre brought up to believe
That its 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 well 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 Ill lie (on the gravestone where Ill lie)
Tell them its just my bones that died there (tell them its just my bones that died there)
So save the tears theyll cry (so save the tears theyll cry)
My spirit is still riding somewheres in this night
And its 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 dont let go
When its your own blood youll bleed
And your own tears youll cry
When youre brought up to believe
That its the strong who survive
Never say die, never say die... (thats right)
