Don’t Give Up

Don't give up (don't give up)
Don't give up (don't give up)
You've got to know that time is on your side.

Don't give up (don't give up)
Don't give up no, no,
When things get thin you got to give in just don't give up.

Now, in this world of give and take one observation you can make
It's a long, hard road until the day you die,
But you've got plenty on your side you just take it all in stride
Don't let the setbacks hang you out to dry.

So you just listen here to me —  one little problem don't make three

Your obstacles don't need a helping hand,
If you just take one at a time you'll make it easier to climb
And scale that wall into the promised land.

(repeat chorus)

Now, you may say that I'm a fool, but I say patience is a tool
You've gotta smell the smoke to put out the fire,
Good simple answers are the game you've got no one but you to blame
Remember this when you're down to the wire.

(repeat chorus)

When you see that heavy cloud in front of you
Back off until you see it where the mountain meets the sky.
Recharge yourself until you know just what you've got to do
Then settle down, put the pedal down and fly.
