Never Give In

Written By Charlie E Thomas Jr.

Such deep pain is felt within 

mutually shared my a long lost friend

the weight of lost hope crushes the spirit within 

yet still to this day we hold up our chins

blind to what the future has in store for us to see 

when the light of the past shines bright blinding me

every step hurts but it makes us stronger 

able to live through this pain which makes us hunger

for more we live on in harmony with the tears where cryin'

feel it would be better if we were simply dyin'

never give up just keep on tryin' 

remember that this lump of coal will become a diamond.
