Well, we took a train to Kensington
And listened to the children run
Just beyond the garden gate
Where Peter and Wendy played

There was a sign that said we weren't allowed
To duck inside and join the crowd
Without a son or daughter's hand
To lead us into Neverland

Half Chorus:

And it hurt so bad, but it's so good to be young
And I don't want to go back
I just want to go on and on and on
Day by day, day by day

And everybody's so surprised when right before your very eyes
Your baby's in the second grade, you blink and it's her wedding day
And we just can't get used to being here where the ticking clock is loud and clear
Children of eternity
On the run from entropy

Full Chorus:

And it hurts so bad, but it's so good to be young
And I don't want to go back
I just want to go on and on and on
Day by day, day by day
So don't lose heart though your body's wasting away
Your soul is not, it's being remade day by day by day

Bridge:

Well, you never met a single soul
Who didn't feel the curse's toll
Who didn't wish that death would die
Maybe that's the reason why

Final Chorus:

And it hurts so bad, but it's so good to be young
And I don't want to go back, I just want to go on and on and on
So don't lose heart, though your body's wasting away
Your soul is not, it's being remade
So don't lose heart, don't lose heart
Your body will rise and never decay
Day by day by day
