[Verse 1]

Hands on a window pane

Watching some children laugh and play

They're running in circles

With candy canes and French braids

Inspired to question

What makes us grown-ups anyway?

Let's search for the moment

When youth betrayed itself to age

[Chorus]

So let the children play

Inside your heart always

And death you will defy

'Cause your youth will never die

Never die

[Verse 2]

In searching for substance

We're clouded by struggle's haze

Remember the meaning

Of playing out in the rain

We swim in the fountain

Of youth's timeless maze

If you drink the water

Your youth will never fade

[Chorus]

So let the children play

Inside your heart always

And death you will defy

'Cause your youth will never die

Never die

Never die

Never die

[Bridge]

I won't let go of that youthful soul

Despite body and mind, my youth will never die

I won't let go of that youthful soul

Despite body and mind, my youth will never die

[Chorus]

So let the children play

Inside your heart always

And death you will defy

'Cause your youth will never die

So let the children play

Inside your heart always

And death you will defy

'Cause your youth will never die

Never die
