Verse 1
These are the days, these are the moments, these are the times, that
you will remember.
These are your friends, these are your children, this is your chance,
go ahead and take it.
And I know deep inside, with every magical song that they write,
Every turn of the page, spirit cannot age. Oh no... spirit cannot age,
oh no...

Verse 2
These are the days, these are your memories, this is your life, you
better make sure you use it.
This is your world, these are your reasons, this is your dream, so go
ahead and dream it. Oh yeah...
And I know deep inside, with every magical song that they write,
Every turn of the page, spirit cannot age. Oh no... spirit cannot age,
oh no...

Verse 3 + Outro
These are the days, these are the moments, these are the times, that
you must remember,
These are the days (these are the days)
These are the days (these are the days)
These are the days (these are the days)
These are the days (these are the days)
These are the days
