THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
it's not always easy to write
when life turns you upside down
when hope seems to fade out of sight
it's easier to play the clown
no one wants to hear the blues
when they are too close to real
nobody wants to pay the dues
it's easier just to not feel
but I won't give up
I will keep trying
I'll go on living
though my heart is dying
when my feet drag
my soul is still flying
and somewhere inside...
my spirit is crying
it's hard to find positive words
when life bring you misery
when faith seems to be for the birds
it's safer in fantasy
no one wants to be so down
the one living on the street
they all want to help, but not in this town
no one wants to admit defeat
there are no words spoken
just promises broken
and trust betrayed
and hope dismayed
respect abused
passion confused
now I'm alone
out on my own
but I won't give up
I will keep dreaming
and searching for someone
who will dream with me
I'll shed my tears
and carry on hoping
and in a while...
my heart will be coping
and a smile will find it's way
back where I know it belongs
and I'll have a whole lot to say
and I will sing all the songs
cause people who know the blues
will walk that extra mile
and people who don't give up
will always find a smile
so I won't give up
I will keep living
and searching for someone
who knows about giving
and sometimes I'm laughing
and sometimes I'm crying
look deep inside...
my spirit is flying
I won't give up
I will keep dreaming
and searching for someone
who will dream with me
I'll shed my tears
wash away fear
believing someday...
she will appear
believing someday...
you will appear
Won't Give Up
