Never Say Die

As we stood there older than a man

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 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 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 lightning

Through the pourin' rain

And we'll be standin' like a soldier

Who comes marchin' home again

They ask what it is that I want written

On the gravestone where I'll lie

Tell 'em it's just my bones that died there

So, save the tears they'll cry

My spirit is still ridin'

Somewhere 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)
