Never Say Die

As we stood there older than 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 'em 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 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 soldier
Who comes marching home again left right left right
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
So save the tears they'll cry so save the tears they'll cry
My spirit is still riding somewhere's in this night
And it's these three words that come to me
As I kiss this world good bye
Never say die never say no
You got to look 'em 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
