Never Stop
Shout Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now can't you see, oh that I'm racin' time
It's on with the goal, another uphill climb
Follow the heart, satisfy the soul
I'm movin' on, headin' along, well, you know

In time, time, it'll all work out
I know you know what I'm talkin' about
Never stop, never stop running
Never gonna stop, nothin's gonna stop us now
Ain't givin' up, oh no, we hear it calling
Now we know, love is gonna show us how

Out of the blue, it came crashing through the night
I had to pursue, now what would you do fighting for the right
It isn't a game, I tried to explain, it's all so black and white
The price has been paid, to give you the light

In time, time, it'll all work out
I know you know what I'm talkin' about

Never stop, never stop running
Never gonna stop, nothin's gonna stop us now
Ain't givin' up, oh no, we hear it calling
Now we know, love is gonna show us how

Don't want to live from day to day
Keeping things the same
We've gotta break away
Time, time is on our side
With nothing more to hide
We'll leave this place behind

Never stop, never stop running
Never gonna stop, nothin's gonna stop us now
Ain't givin' up, oh no, we hear it calling




Now we know, love is gonna show us how
Ain't givin' up, oh no, we hear it calling now
