Never Say Die
As we stood there older than menAnd younger than the boys (that's right)We were as still as the windThat blows on a hot August night
And you were lonesome as a jukeboxBut deadly just the sameI could be as gentle as a newbornThen spit into the eye of a hurricane
And we knew how to laughAnd we knew how to cryYeah, we sure knew how to liveBut we don't ever
Never say dieNever say die
I guess you'd say we had a pactThese words we knew so well (that's right)Still they remained unspokenAnd we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell
Once I was afraid of loveBut when it's your brother, those things change'Cause love is just another word for trustSo hear me when I say
Never say die, never say noYou got to look 'em in the eye and don't let goWhen it's your own blood you'll bleedAnd your own tears you'll cryWhen you're brought up to believeThat it's the strong who surviveNever 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 soldierWho 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 ridingSomewhere's in this nightAnd it's these three words that come to meAs I kiss this world good bye
Never say die, never say noYou got to look 'em in the eye and don't let goWhen it's your own blood you'll bleedAnd your own tears you'll cryWhen you're brought up to believeThat it's the strong who surviveNever say die, never say die (that's right)
