Don't Give Up

Words by: By Shirley Carpenter, Michael G. Ronstadt, Rick Denzien, Serenity Fisher

Music By: Shirley Carpenter, Rick Denzien

Intro:

Verse 1:

(rest) WHEN I WAS FOUR YEARS OLD,

I HEARD THE SOUNDS SERENE

VOICES OF MY FAMILY-EE SINGING HARMONY,

SONGS PROFOUNDLY SAD AND DARK,

YET FILLED WITH ENDLESS HOPE

RHYTHMIC STRUMS IMPLORING ME TO SING

Chorus:

Saying don't Give up - THERE'S rain on the horizon

don't give up - the fields will soon be green

don't give up - tomorrow WILL BE brighter

SOMEDAY YOU WILL SEE WHAT I HAVE SEEN

Verse 2:

AT EIGHTEEN I LEFT MY HOME, TO SEE WHAT I COULD SEE

LONELINESS AND POVERTY-EE ALWAYS FOLLOWED ME

BUT THEN I HEARD THE VOICES (rest) OF MY FAMILY

HARMONIES IMPLORING ME TO SING

Chorus 2:

Bridge:

DID YOU EVER LOSE YOUR HOPE, when you COULDN'T SEE A WAY?

DID-THE DARKNESS GET SO DEEP, THERE WAS NO NIGHT OR DAY?

IT'S A PLACE I'VE BEEN BEFORE, I MAY GO THERE AGAIN

BUT-THE-MUSIC KEEPS ME GOING WITH IT'S GLAD RE-FRAIN

Transition - don't give up

Chorus 3:

Tag: Don't Give Up - SOMEDAY YOU WILL SEE WHAT I HAVE SEEN
