Lyrics:

As we stood there older than the 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 never, never say

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 gotta 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, we could run like lightnin' (We could run like lightnin')
Through the pourin' rain (Through the rain)
And we'll be standin' like a soldier
Who comes marchin' home again

One, two, three, four

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 (Gravestone where I'll lie)
Tell 'em it's just my bones that died there (Tell 'em it's just my bones that died there)
So save the tears they'll cry (So save those tears)

My spirit is still ridin'
Somewheres in this night
And it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world goodbye

Never say die
Never say no
You gotta 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
Never say die (That's right)
