It was November back in '84,
with Joe Cocker on the radio the year that I was born.
Back then was simple on the TV screen.
Pictures of a better time printed on all magazines.
But that was all back then and this is now.
Can’t turn back around
and the generation's hands are on the wheel.
These are the best days, the best days of your life.
The break-ups that shape us to who we are
is the courage that it takes to live in these times,
so make it the best days, the best days of your life.
It was November back in '91.
The Berlin wall came down, we hoped for no more guns.
And I do remember back in '94,
Michael Jordan in the air inspired us to soar.
But that was all back then and this is now.
Can’t turn back around.
Every generation's hands are on the wheel.
These were the best days, the best days of your life.
The break-ups that shape us to who we are
is the courage that it takes to live in these times,
so make it the best days, the best days of your life.
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...)
(La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...)
Please be the best days, the best days of our lives.
If it breaks us, it will teach us to survive.
It's the courage that it takes to live in these times.
It's the best days, the best days of your life.
