about

i wrote this song in 1996 and i wrote it after attending a special olympics games for the physically challenged and got inspired to keep going and not give up your dreams with what you want to do in life.

lyrics

Chorus:
Don't gve up
since you've gotten this far
don't give up
just follow your heart
don't give up
don't put your dreams away on the shelf
don't give up
just believe
just believe in yourself

Verse 1:
there will be people in this world
who wouldn't even give a darn about you
but if you believe in yourself
you can pull yourself through
and make all your dreams come true
and make all your dreams come true
(repeat chorus)

Verse 2:
budddy don't give up so easily
cause i'm right by your side
if you ever need me
don't worry about what anybody say
just do what you want in your own way
in your own way.

Bridge:
sometimes your best friends
people let you down
you gotta keep focus
with both feet on the ground
don't worry about things people sometimes say
just reach for those stars
you'll go all the way.
(repeat)

Verse 3:
A new day will soon arrive
and you wonder how much your life will change
you wonder what to do in your own lifetime
you say to yourself
I'm glad to see another day
I'm so glad to see another day
thats why i tell you...
(repeat chorus out)

don't give up your dreams
just keep going all the way.
