Sometimes they'll want to cut you down
Betta scratch that itch cus the time is now
They tell you that you gotta have a heart of steel
If you want to keep up can you afford to feel?
When the system's wrong you gotta tear it down
Let it fall to the sea bed like a rusty crown
To the stars in the moonbeams glare
Shackles on your feet gotta disappear

What if I tried to tell you to do it for?
Can't you see baby life's knocking right at your door
She says "Oooh I just don't know for sure"
What if I tried to tell you to do it for?

Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up
Don't give up don't give up

She's got a talented face and a suitcase
Ain't got no desire to go no place
In her case she's got no desire with her hand in the flame say's she don't feel the fire
To the 'yes' in the evenings air
Demons in your head got to disappear
To the stars under the moon means glare
The Shackles on your hands gotta disappear

What if I tried to tell you to do what for?
Can't you see baby he's knocking right at your door
She said, "Oooh I just don't know for sure"
What if I tried to tell you to do it for?

Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up
Don't give up, don't give up

What if I tried to tell you to do it for?
Can't you see baby life's knockin right at your door
Don't tell me, Ohhh You just don't know for sure
What if I tried to tell you to Don't give Up
