I could feel the cold night nippin' at my face
Sleeping in that Starter jacket, the one I wore all day
The hunger never seems to go away
We always said we wanted more than this sad depressing place
And that frozen bus seat on our way to school
We would build a rocket ship to fly us to the moon
And at 3 a. m. we left that little room
Our songs are all we carried walking down that country road

We were always dreaming through the hard days
We were always screaming, "Never say never! "
What you gonna do now?
Wе said it back then, we said forevеr

You don't always know where life is going
So you gotta keep going your own direction
And keep your eyes fixed on the skyline
There's always hope if you keep trying
If you get back up, you might start flying

We were always dreaming through the hard days
We were always screaming, "Never say never! "
What you gonna do now?
We said it back then, we said forever

And we seen 'em all come and go their own way
But we were built to last, we stayed together
Would you look at us now?
We said it back then, we said forever (Forever)

Don't count me out
Get up every time
That they knock you down
Get up every time
That they count you out

So I'm gonna keep dreaming through the hard days
And I'm gonna keep screaming, "Never say never! "
What you gonna do now?
We said it back then, we said forever
And let 'em all come and go their own way
I always knew we'd stay together
And would you look at us now?
We knew it back then, we said forever (Forever)

We said forever
We'd be together
Until forever comes, or forever's done
We said forever
