Never Say Die |
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 them 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 |
Through the pouring rain |
And we’ll be standing like a soldier |
Who comes marching home again |
They ask what it is that I want written |
On the gravestone where I’ll lie |
Tell them it’s just my bones |
That died there |
So save the tears they’ll cry |
My spirit is still riding somewhere |
Somewhere in this night |
When it’s these three words that come to me |
As I kiss this world goodbye |
Never say die |
Never say no |
You got to look them 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 |
