NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER GIVE IN

Lyrics by Peter Merz
Music by Tom Bedlam

Verse 1:
To every single Quixote in this wide world,
Chasing those dreams that are hard to hold.
Sleeping with coyotes, under the moon's cold,
Battling windmills on fields of gold.
They call for security, shut down your sound,
While Sancho shrugs, and you stand your ground,
Hold your spirit, let it unfurl,
Never surrender, not in this world.

(This song is for you…)

Chorus:
Never give up, never give in,
Let them call you mad, and let them grin
Say you’re out of line, but they can’t win,
Never give up, never give in.
Oh, you’re the stuff of dreams yet to spin,
Keep fighting the wrongs, with a firm chin,
Never, oh never give up, never give in,
Never give up, never give in!

Verse 2:
Under the weight of scorn, and harsh critique,
Stand tall, my friend, let your heart speak,
Feeling tiny won’t make you weak,
No need for blues in the words you leak.
Just gaze out at the horizon's gleam,
Believe in tomorrow, don’t let your hope dim,
Their tune of doom, let it go unseen,
Just keep on keeping on, let your light beam.

Chorus:
Never give up, never give in,
Let them call you mad, and let them grin
Say you’re out of line, but they can’t win,
Never give up, never give in.
Oh, you’re the stuff of dreams yet to spin,
Keep fighting the wrongs, with a firm chin,
Never, oh never give up, never give in,
Never give up, never give in!

Bridge:
Hold fast your heart, don't let your purpose wane,
Keep reaching for the unreachable star,
At journey's end, the balm will soothe your pain,
The marks you bear, each scar,
Will shine as a testament of who you are.
