She came calling 
One early morning 
She showed her crown of thorns 
She whispered softly 
To tell a story 
About how she had been wronged 
As she lay lifeless 
He stole her innocence 
And this is how she carried on 
This is how she carried on

Well I guess she closed her eyes 
And just imagined everything's alright 
But she could not hide her tears 
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years 
They were sent to wash away those years 

My anger's violent 
But still I'm silent 
When tragedy strikes at home 
I know this decadence Is shared by millions 
Remember you're not alone 
Remember you're not alone 

Well if you just close your eyes 
And just imagine everything's alright 
But do not hide your tears 
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years 
Well if you just close your eyes 
And just imagine everything's alright 
But do not hide your tears 
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years 
They were sent to wash away those years 
Maybe we can wash away those years 

For we have crossed many oceans 
And we labor in between 
In life there are many quotients 
And I hope I find the mean
the mean, the mean

Well if you just close your eyes 
And just imagine everything's alright 
But do not hide your tears 
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years 
Well if you just close your eyes 
And just imagine everything's alright 
But do not hide your tears 
'Cause they were sent to wash away those years 
Maybe we can wash away those years 
I hope that you can wash away those years


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 

So let the children play 
Inside your heart always 
And death you will defy 
'Cause your youth will never die 
Never Die

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
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

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

[Guitar Break]

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
