[Verse 1]
Kids hanging out on a Saturday night
Waiting on wheels, want to go for a ride
Cruising 'round town, just feels right
Got to get away
Blasting rock and hip hop, they know
All dressed down with no place to go
A difficult age just taking it slow
Wait for better days
Cannot stop the wild and restless
Still the ritual goes on
Following the footsteps
Where their fathers used to run

[Chorus]
Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh, in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are going to shine
Ooh, there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation

[Verse 2]
Fashions go and come back around
And vinyl LPs still got a cool sound
Flash back to retro (retro)
It's all new again
Fighting wars under different names
Losing daughters and sons, we all feel the pain
Through the tears, why don't things ever change
Between now and then
While the radio's still playing
That familiar sweet love song
We still share the same desire
We all need to belong

[Chorus]
Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are going to shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation

[Verse 3]
Some generations leave us heroes of their day
With magic moments that still take our breaths away
Some will inherit all the politics and blame
And some will leave this world a better place

[Chorus]
Turn around and face the change
Young hearts all beat the same
The fire in the soul remains
Ooh in every generation
Young rebels have their time
Glory days are going to shine
Ooh there's a brand new face waiting right behind
Every generation
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Every generation
They keep coming around
Every generation
Na na na na na
Yeah
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na

Journey is an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1973, composed of former members of Santana and Frumious Bandersnatch. The band has gone through several phases; its strongest commercial success occurred while fronted by vocalist Steve Perry, from 1978 until the group’s disbandment in 1987. During that period, the band released a series of hit songs, including 1981’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”, which in 2009 became the top-selling track in iTunes history amongst songs not released in the 21st century. Its parent studio album, Escape, the band’s eighth and most successful, reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and yielded another of their most popular singles, “Open Arms”. Its 1983 follow-up album, Frontiers, was almost as successful in the United States, reaching No. 2 and spawning several successful singles; it broadened the band’s appeal in the United Kingdom, where it reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. Journey enjoyed a successful reunion with Perry in the mid-1990s and later regrouped with a series of lead singers.
