Never Give Up My Pride

Trade winds keep on blowing

My life keeps on going

Jah's love keeps on flowing

Just yesterday I was hoping for tomorrow

And I trust and pray it would bring a brighter future

My life has been filled with ups and downs, whoa, whoa

Sometimes I never knew which way to turn, whoa, whoa

When the going gets rough, the tough gets going

'Cause I never give up my pride

Even though I'm broken up inside

I'll never give up my pride

Even though they try to push me aside

I'll never give up my pride

I can't remember when I didn't depend on hopes and dreams

I had to push on through, trying to find the ways and means

My life has been filled with twists and turns, whoa, whoa

Sometimes I never knew which way to turn, whoa, whoa

When the going gets rough, the tough gets going

'Cause I never give up my pride

Even though I'm broken up inside

I'll never give up my pride

And though at times my world may seem to capsize

I'll never give up my pride

Whoa

Whoa-oh, ay

Trade winds keep on blowing

My life keeps on going

Jah's love keeps on flowing

So I never give up my pride

Even though I'm broken down inside

I'll never give up my pride

And though my world may seem sometimes to capsize

I'll never give up my pride

Although I paid my dues, they won't let me be what I want to be

But they would like to see me succumbing to society

My life has been filled with ups and downs, whoa, whoa

Sometimes I never knew which way to turn, whoa, whoa

When the going gets rough, the tough gets going

'Cause I never give up my pride

Even though I'm broken up inside

I'll never give up my pride

Even though sometimes my world capsize

I'll never give up my pride

Whoa, whoa-oh
