Forever Young
Alphaville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies
Hoping for the best but expecting the worst
Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young or let us live forever
We don't have the power but we never say never
Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip
The music's for the sad men
Can you imagine when this race is won
Turn our golden faces into the sun
Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune
The music's played by the, the mad man
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever young
Some are like water, some are like the heat
Some are a melody and some are the beat
Sooner or later, they all will be gone
Why don't they stay young?
It's so hard to get old without a cause
I don't want to perish like a fading horse
Youth's like diamonds in the sun
And diamonds are forever
So many adventures couldn't happen today
So many songs we forgot to play
So many dreams swinging out of the blue
We'll let 'em come true
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I want to be forever young
Do you really want to live forever?
Forever, and ever
Forever young
I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever? (Forever)

We're optimistic about the future and determined to make our dreams a reality

@@charlesnorwich5932 Quem dera, mas esta não é a vontade do Criador...😇🥺
Quando, porém, veio Cristo como sumo sacerdote dos bens já realizados, mediante o maior e mais perfeito tabernáculo, não feito por mãos, quer dizer, não desta criação,
não por meio de sangue de bodes e de bezerros, mas pelo seu próprio sangue, entrou no Santo dos Santos, uma vez por todas, tendo obtido eterna redenção.
Portanto, se o sangue de bodes e de touros e a cinza de uma novilha, aspergidos sobre os contaminados, os santificam, quanto à purificação da carne,
muito mais o sangue de Cristo, que, pelo Espírito eterno, a si mesmo se ofereceu sem mácula a Deus, purificará a nossa consciência de obras mortas, para servirmos ao Deus vivo!
Por isso mesmo, ele é o Mediador da nova aliança, a fim de que, intervindo a morte para remissão das transgressões que havia sob a primeira aliança, recebam a promessa da eterna herança aqueles que têm sido chamados.
Porque, onde há testamento, é necessário que intervenha a morte do testador;
pois um testamento só é confirmado no caso de mortos; visto que de maneira nenhuma tem força de lei enquanto vive o testador.
Pelo que nem a primeira aliança foi sancionada sem sangue;
porque, havendo Moisés proclamado todos os mandamentos segundo a lei a todo o povo, tomou o sangue dos bezerros e dos bodes, com água, e lã tinta de escarlate, e hissopo e aspergiu não só o próprio livro, como também sobre todo o povo, dizendo:
Este é o sangue da aliança, a qual Deus prescreveu para vós outros.
Igualmente também aspergiu com sangue o tabernáculo e todos os utensílios do serviço sagrado.
Com efeito, quase todas as coisas, segundo a lei, se purificam com sangue; e, sem derramamento de sangue, não há remissão.
Era necessário, portanto, que as figuras das coisas que se acham nos céus se purificassem com tais sacrifícios, mas as próprias coisas celestiais, com sacrifícios a eles superiores.
Porque Cristo não entrou em santuário feito por mãos, figura do verdadeiro, porém no mesmo céu, para comparecer, agora, por nós, diante de Deus; nem ainda para se oferecer a si mesmo muitas vezes, como o sumo sacerdote cada ano entra no Santo dos Santos com sangue alheio.
Hebreus 9:11-28

Hello everyone,
I hope you're all doing well.
I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on something that holds a special place in my heart - 80's music. Listening to songs from that era never fails to take me on a journey down memory lane, where the nostalgia of childhood, cherished moments with family and friends, and simpler times come flooding back.
It's incredible how back then, conversations were had in person during leisurely walks, whereas nowadays, we find ourselves connecting through platforms like WhatsApp. This transition sometimes makes me feel detached from the present moment as if I'm caught between two different eras.
Do you share the same sentiment towards this wonderful era of music and memories?
@theharshtruthoutthere
The real reason singers became world wide pop stars and his solo career blow up was because of the freemasonry hand signs he show`d again and again. The 2 popular hand signs M J used often were 666 and devil horns.
In most cases the singer shows at least 4 hand signs and these are:
666
devil horns
one eye
tongue showing aka mocking.
The talent may be there, but the hand signs must be there. Thats how a soul becomes a “rich and famous” singer or actor.

My dad used to play this on the computer every morning. He died in a young age so I guess he will always be 'Forever Young' to me.
