I've made a lot of mistakes in my time
Foolish was I and young was my mind
Sometimes a man must live in darkness to appreciate light
I hope you'll understand where I'm comin' from
I'm simply sayin' what's done is done
It's a brand new day and me and rock ‘n' roll are here to 
stay!

I love the sound of the crowd cheering
It gives me more than just a good feeling
And the sharingÂ…the life I live and love, love, loveÂ…
I treasure each and every word of this song
It expresses so many things I've felt for so long
I feel good and I just wanna say, me and rock ‘n' roll 
are here to stay!

I've seen a lotta entertainers come and go
And I'm sure before I die I'm gon' see a lot more
I am a mountain and I refuse to be moved
There're so many things I wanna say and do
And a lot of things I wanna prove to me and you
But most of all that me and rock ‘n' roll are here to 
stay!
