Don't Give Up

This world can leave an ugly bruise
I've felt my share of bruises too
The joy of life is too elusive to last
Happiness provokes its own wrath
Losing strength with every strike
Chronic pain is the price of life
Swing after swing, blow after blow
Living life can really take a toll
Life can suck
Numbing misery buried inside
A remedy is nowhere to find
No one knows what you're going through
God doesn't seem to be listening to you
Emptiness engulfed by despair
Running out of smiles or the strength to care
Hope is fading to a futile end
Loneliness is your closest friend
Life can suck
Life can suck
Life can suck
Life throws punches whether you fight it or not
Put up your fists and throw your best shots
When you take a fall and you've had enough
You must muster the strength to pick yourself up
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up
Don't ever give up
Keep trying and fighting
And kicking and biting
Hang on, hang on
Hang on, don't give up
Keep persisting and resisting
And writhing and twisting
Hang on, hang on
Hang on, don't give up
When everything is going wrong
You must keep pushing on
When the going gets rough
Don't you ever give up
Keep fighting the fight
Don't let it get the best of you
Keep your chin up high
Don't lose hope whatever you do
Keep your dreams in sight
Fight until you see them through
Don't ever give up
