this is our song sing it with me children nobody lives forever so come on lets have some fun and i want a happy ending just like everyone wants one and life would be sweeter if we all had somewhere we could run oh dont you dare tell me what cant be done they say you dont have to grow up but youve got to grow older it only hurts when i laugh you see cause ill always be young ill always be young in my mind but im racing against the time never mind the mirror in your room be who you feel the grounds under your feet but you wont get there standing still peak and valley is a promise but dont you stop until oh and ill make it yes ill make it yes i will had a fight with my father time about my mothers nature that makes me destinys child cause see ill always be young ill always be young in my mind im racing against the time im racing against the time i wont keep any secrets from you baby im a sinner and i may have lost your war of words but hey now i m still a winer does wearing your heart on your sleeve really mean that it is isnt in you looking good but you aren t that great of a pretender when everything is said and done i ll be alive in my own son so i ll be there when his son has one i ll always be young young in my mind racing against the time
