Don'T Give Up

Don't give up
We aren't down and out
I'm still there with you
and will be, not to doubt.

I know that days are testing
The shadows are far too long,
But friends are there for a reason
Together we can march along.

Don't you give up
I implore you,
The glass is still half full.
The sun still shines,
on the lee side,
and will be dazzling soon.

Don't you think of giving up,
Behold the lovely earth.
The water is clean,
the grass looks green,
and the sky blue and bright.

The brighter days are coming by,
The darker nights will go.
Don't you want to live those days?
With me, my sis and bro!

Dare not give up you lazy fool,
No time for lax or fright.
But if you lose heart O my friend,
I'm going to lose the fight.
