Two of us growing up together thru a golden ag
We never realised it, our lives you changed,
Days of pure inspiration, will live in our hearts foreve
And as the years went by dreaming of our destinies,
Believing in the power of a melody
In your songs we found magical music, words and sound
The seasons come and go again
and what was old is new again, yeah
They say you’re over times have changed…. the end
But there’s no end to this story
Just look at what you’ve begun
And so the story goes on!
Pop, Pop music give me Pop, Pop music, don’t stop, give me Pop
Give me Pop, Pop music
Give me Hip-Hop Rock and give me Punk, give me Funk
don‘t stop with the Pop …Pop music!
The melody’s your legacy I know
You gave us something to believe!
So give me Pop, Pop music, give me Pop, Pop music, don’t
stop with the Pop, don’t stop Pop music
You hit the hurdles but you never fail to run
You fi re the gun. You overcome, yeah
When you lose your way you come back twice as strong
here you come… You’re number one!
A lifetime long ago, but even then we knew it deep inside
we found something to believe
‘deep in the heart of me’
