Just as long as there are roads to build
Just as long as there is land to till
Just as long as our hearts keep beating
Then we are never too old

Just as long as we can wonder why
Just as long as the sun rises up in the sky
Just as long as there is sickness for us to heal
Then we are never too old

Some days our faith might be shaken
Deep down inside our hearts are breaking
It just goes to show
No matter which way the wind blows
We are never too old

Just as long as a man and woman can believe
Just as long as there is air for us to breathe
And just as long as someone's dreams are coming true
Then we are never too old
