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 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 bought 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 die
Tell them it's just my bones who died there
So save the tears they'll cry
My spirit is still riding somewhere
Somewhere's in this night
When it's these 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 bought up to believe
That it's the strong who survive
Never say die (2x
