Do Not Give Up
Who has been bruised
That has not bled?
Who has been stressed
That has not wept?
Perhaps some have not,
But many of us have;
Yet as many as are touched,
I plead, "Do Not Give Up".
Who has been hurt
That has not cursed fate?
Who has been down
That has not lost faith?
Perhaps some have not,
But many of us have;
Yet as many as are wronged,
I plead, "Do Not Give Up".
For there is yet hope
For a tree which is cut:
At the touch of water
It shall spring back forth!
Hence for all that faint
And all that weep sore,
There is yet life to be lived
If you would not give up!
