[Verse 1]
Born on a play ground, feel the dreams
We grow out fellas in the streets
From the backyards to the schoolyards
We run, we run

[Verse 2]
We were rebels, wild and brave
On a blank canvas, we escape
And we're knowing where we're going
We run, we run

[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna let go, it's alright
You can feel it in your soul tonight

[Chorus]
Kids these days die way too young
Their souls dry out from the burning sun
But we will never grow up
We'll never grow up, up, up, up
We will never grow up
We'll never grow up, up, up, up

[Verse 3]
We were soldiers, kings and queens
And tomorrow ain't what it used to be
From the hide outs to nights out
We run, we run

[Verse 4]
Forever young that's how we do (How we do, how we do)
And make-believe 'til it all comes true
And we're knowing where we're going
But we run, we run

[Pre-Chorus]
If you wanna let go, it's alright
You can feel it in your soul tonight
[Chorus]
Kids these days die way too young
(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Their souls dry out from the burning sun
(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
But we will never grow up
We'll never grow up, up, up, up
We will never grow up
We'll never grow up, up, up, up

[Bridge]
We are the kids
The kids that live forever young
We are the kids
The kids that live forever young
Wo-oh-oh-oh, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah
Wo-oh-oh-oh, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah

[Chorus]
Kids these days die way too young
(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Their souls dry out from the burning sun
(Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh)
But we will never grow up
We'll never grow up, up, up, up
We will never grow up
We'll never grow up, up, up, up
[Outro]
Kids these days die way too young
