[00:26.429]As we stood there older than men
[00:30.617]And younger than the boys (that's right)
[00:33.937]We were as still as the wind
[00:36.633]That blows on a hot August night
[00:40.377]And you were lonesome as a jukebox
[00:44.103]But deadly just the same
[00:47.012]I could be as gentle as a newborn
[00:50.251]Then spit into the eye of a hurricane
[00:54.014]And we knew how to laugh
[00:57.233]And we knew how to cry
[01:00.531]Yeah, we sure knew how to live
[01:03.995]But we don't ever
[01:06.586]Never say die, never say die
[01:20.741]I guess you'd say we had a pact
[01:24.242]These words we knew so well (that's right)
[01:27.776]Still they remained unspoken
[01:30.795]And we'd take them to the fiery gates of hell
[01:34.003]Once I was afraid of love
[01:37.086]But when it's your brother those things change
[01:40.654]'Cause love is just another word for trust
[01:44.281]So hear me when I say
[01:46.844]Never say die, never say no
[01:54.183]You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
[02:00.830]When it's your own blood you'll bleed
[02:04.137]And your own tears you'll cry
[02:07.523]When you're brought up to believe
[02:10.552]That it's the strong who survive
[02:13.752]Never say die
[02:28.031][Guitar solo]
[02:42.352]Yeah, and we could run like lightning (we could run like lightning)
[02:45.328]Through the pouring rain (through the rain)
[02:48.290]And we'll be standing like a soldier
[02:51.845]Who comes marching home again (left, right, left, right)
[03:07.858]They ask what it is that I want written (they ask what it is that I want written)
[03:11.540]On the gravestone where I'll lie (on the gravestone where I'll lie)
[03:15.054]Tell them it's just my bones that died there (tell them it's just my bones that died there)
[03:18.576]So save the tears they'll cry (so save the tears they'll cry)
[03:21.818]My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
[03:28.303]And it's these three words that come to me
[03:31.381]As I kiss this world good bye
[03:34.427]Never say die, never say no
[03:41.348]You got to look 'em in the eye and don't let go
[03:48.397]When it's your own blood you'll bleed
[03:51.723]And your own tears you'll cry
[03:55.134]When you're brought up to believe
[03:58.485]That it's the strong who survive
[04:01.451]Never say die, never say die... (that's right)
