This is our song, sing it with me, children!
Yeah, it's alright, hey
Nobody lives forever so come on let's have some fun
And I want a happy ending just like everyone wants one
Life would be sweeter if we all had somewhere we could run
Yeah, oh don't you dare tell me what can't be done
You say you gone half the globe
But you've gotta grow older
But it only hurts when I laugh
You see 'cause I'll always be young
I'll always be young, in my mind
But I'm racing against the time, yeah
Oh never mind the mirror in your room
Be who you feel
Mhm, and the ground's under the feet
But you won't get there standing still
Hey, weekend valey is a promise
But don't you stop until
Oh, and I'll make it, yes I'll make it
Yes I will
I had a bite from my father time
I brought my mother's nature
That makes me destiny's child
You see 'cause I'll always be young
I'll always be young, in my mind, mhm
I'm racing against the time
(Alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Come on children, say, alright
(Alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, ah
I said I'm racing against the time
(Alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da)
I won't keep any secrets from you baby
I will stand up, yes I am
And I may have lost your war of words
But hey now I'm still a winner, yes
As you're wearing your heart on your sleeve
Really means that it is an end, yeah
Looking good but you aren't that great of a pretender
When everything is said and done
I'll be alive and my only son
So I'll be there when the son has won, yeah
I'll always be young, he
I'll always be young, in my mind, oh
But I'm racing against the time
(Alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da)
Mhm, I said
(I said alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da)
Oh, I'm racing against the time, oh, ye, baby
(I said alright yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Da, da, da)
Oh, ee I'm racing, yeah, oh
Yeah, yeah
