Never Give Up Hold On Because You Can
Do you really want to give up?
You must not, because hope is not lost
It keeps us going
Aren’t you taking the easiest way by acting like that? I think so!
You just want to pin your feebleness on somebody else
You are looking for a scapegoat in order to ease your conscience
Because you don’t want to feel guilty
But the truth is that you are too weak to fight for your survival
You are not courageous enough to run this battle
You are pretending they have stolen your future
But how can they do that
When your destiny is within your hands?
You can’t hide yourself behind those false pretences
Dear brother you are physically strong
But mentally weak
All you need is trust in yourself
Because you can, I can, we all can
I know the road is long
But we all must take it
I know the battle is hard
But we all must carry it out
I know the tunnel is long, narrow, dark and full of pitfalls
But God’s gift is waiting for you at the end
Why not you if others succeed?
By being so pessimistic
You are just reducing your chance to be victorious
So catch hold again before it’s too late
