Forever Young
friedberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while
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 man
Can you imagine when the race is won
Turn out all the faces into the sun
Praising our leaders we're getting in tune
The music's played by the the mad man

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really want to live forever
Forever young

Some are like water some are like heat
Some are a Melodie and some are a beat
Sooner or later we all will be gone
Why don't we stay young?
It's so hard to get on to another course
I don't wanna perish like a fleeing horse
Youth is 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 swingin' out of the blue
Oh let them come true

Forever young, I wanna be forever young
Do you really wanna live forever
Forever and ever
Forever young, I wanna be forever young




Do you really want to live forever
Forever young
