The Days (feat. Bono)

These are the days (oh, RedOne)

These are the days

In the time of our lives, in the time of our youth

We bow down to beauty and truth

We found opportunity when it wasn't there

And made up a rhapsody of our despair

These are the days

Uh, good mornin' America, God bless America

Everything is fine, don't cry, Miss America

Based on a true story, I don't need an editor

Live like a soldier, die like a veteran

I pledge allegiance to what I believe in

Live to fight another day if yesterday beat me

'Cause these are the days, anything can happen

On 9-11, I was in Manhattan

But these are the days, and time steady passin'

And life steady flashin' in front of my glasses

And I ain't gettin' younger, but I'm gettin' better

Got no time to waste, that's another man's treasure

They say every dawg has his day, you gotta pet him

And today is now or never

These are the days (Tunechi)

Oh, these are the days

These are the days, the days

The days that tell you what life is for

The days of wonder

Lookin' up at the stars as we're flat on the floor

These are the days

The Fat Boys break up and Mike didn't wake up

If my days are numbered, treat every day like day one

Life in the fast lane, eyes on the road

Take the highs with the lows, smell the concrete rose

From a town where leaves fall and never hit the ground

Got a ocean of belief where the skepticism drowns

Take the good and the bad, everything I never had

Now I'm starin' at the mirror lookin' at my better half

And it's a full day when you think, cry, laugh

And if you think I'm lyin', hook me to the polygraph

And these are the days, I'm just hopin' that they payday

Only to come up a dollar short and a day late

And one day, these days will be my heydays

So I'ma have a great day

These are the days

These are the days (and I still remember the days)

These are the days (when I was behind them bars, just countin' the days)

The days

The days that tell you what life is for

I also remember them days

When I was layin' on that hospital bed thinkin' how many days I had left (the days of wonder)

The revolution is just out of the door (every day is my day)

These are the days (every day is my day)

We know, we knew, we knew, we are, we were (every day is my day)

These are the days (every day is my day)

Oh, these the days

These are the days (every day is my day)

In the time of our lives, in the time of our youth

We bow down to beauty and truth

These are the days, the days

The days that tell you what life is for

The days of wonder

Lookin' up at the stars as we're flat on the floor

These are the days, the days

The days that tell you what life is for

The days of wonder

The revolution is just out of the door

These are the days
