Never Give Up

Oh ooh oh
Oh ooh
Say it's been a long road
Come a long way
Since Robertsport City
Oh yeah, alright

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh oh

I remember when I used to dig for roots When sticks and stones
Could break my bones
And the sound of mortar shells
Would blast the air
So much terror in the atmosphere
Now I've come to see
I was planting roots
Strong foundation
For a better future
Even though the sun would shine
They would do their best
To rain on my parade
Like the prophets of gloom
They used to say to me
You dumpster child, you'll be nobody

But I never give up
And I never give in
And I never back down
And I

When the night would fall
And my hungry, lonely eyes
Be counting sticks
I would ask the hands of death
To come and take my pain far away
But my heart was made strong
By the almighty God
And now I'm standing tall today

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh oh

After all my lonely tears
I made up my mind
To never give up in this fight
I used to dream of a life
So happy and free
Now I'm cutting checks
And catching first-class flights
I knew the day would come
When I would have my own
Discarded child
Becomes the cornerstone
After all the pouring rain
Now I've come to see
The sun shines again

And I never give up
And I never give in
And I never back down
And I

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh ooh oh

And I never give up
And I never give in
And I never back down
And I

I never give up
No Don't you ever give in
Oh lawd
