Never Give Up

s I walked across the streets
I couldn't help but notice the ruins
They were so bad i could hardly breathe
And were as hard as a bedrock
I noticed all this 
But I still kept walking

As I swam beneath the rivers 
I couldn't help but discover the wreckage
Remains of men, children even divas
It was like hell's appendage 
I discovered all this 
But still kept swimming

As I flew across the skies
I heard the cries of those above
Telling me How They failed after so many tries
With their minds as clean as a dove 
I heard all this 
But still kept flying

I missed the rapture 
But never lost hope
After all am still God's creature
And I missed it with a pope 
I knew all this 
But I kept moving

I stopped to rest but fell asleep
And I saw haters in my dream
Thinking I would quit my trip 
Ill prove them wrong as if it were a film
I knew all this
But I struggled on

And finally I reached my destination
After walking, swimming and flying
Like every other creation
Who never stopped trying
I finally made it
Because I never GAVE UP.
