Lyrics
Folk will take advantage of you
Because they believe you're too weak (yeah, yeah)
To speak up for yourself (yeah)
You don't have to speak up for yourself
Be still
And let God fight your battles
Somebody come and go with me Father
There will be mountains that I will have to climb
And there will be battles that I will have to fight
But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide
But how can I expect to win if I never try?
I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me, the road would be easy
And I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me
Never said there wouldn't be trials
Never said I wouldn't fall
Never said that everything would go the way I wanted to go
But when my back is against the wall
And I feel all hope is gone
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say, "Help me to be strong"
Oh, I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me, the road would be easy
And I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me
No, no you didn't bring me out here to leave me lonely
Even when I can't see clearly
I know that you are with me so I pray
I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me, the road would be easy
And I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me now
(Said I can't give up now) I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me, the road would be easy
And I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me
I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me, the road would be easy
And I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me
I just can't give up now
Come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me, the road would be easy
And I don't believe he's brought me this far to leave me
I don't feel no ways tired
I don't believe he's brought me this far
I don't believe he's brought me this far
I don't believe he's brought me this far
I don't believe he's brought me this far
I don't believe he's brougth me this far
I don't believe he's brought me this far
I don't believe he's brought me this far
I don't believe he's brougth me this far.
