Don't work too hard, have a rest
And never give up
Never give up (I'm living)
Never (not giving up yet)
Giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
Don't know how I'll get there, I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet
Say it
Say, "I'm not giving up yet"
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
He sees you
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
Don't know how I'll get there (I'm not giving up yet), I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
I'm not giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
Don't know how or when (I'm not giving up yet), but I'm not giving up, nah
I'm not giving up, yeah, I'm not giving up yet
Cried myself an ocean, trying not to drown in it
Trying not to drown in it, trying not to drown in it (I'm not giving up yet)
Lord, send me a lifeboat, something I can cling to
Something I can cling to (I'm not giving up yet), something I can hold
I don't know how I'm gonna do this
But I know I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I am not giving up yet (not giving up yet)
Don't know how I'll get there, I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet
Don't know how or when, but I'm not giving up, nah
I'm not giving up, said I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
Many people have pains in their lives
They've been so disappointed, so broken
Almost lost the desire to even live
Been rejected many times, I've been dissapointed many times
I've been failed many times
Whether you're going through darkness
There's a future, there's a way forward
There's, there's hope
Don't know how I'll do this (we will make it), I'm not giving up (we will make it)
I'm not giving up (I'm not giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet)
Don't know how I'll get there, I'm not giving up (I'm not giving up yet)
I'm not giving up (I'm not giving up yet)
You cried yourself an ocean, trying not to drown in it
Not to drown in it
You might not believe, you might not believe it
But I need you to speak it
Never give up
Say it like you mean it (not giving up yet)
I am-, I said I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
He sees you (I'm not giving up yet)
I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet
This life ain't easy, no (I'm not giving up yet)
I'm not giving up yet
But I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
Say it (I'm not giving up)
Say it (I'm not giving up yet)
Oh, let it go
Don't know how I'll get there, I'm not giving up yet
I'm not giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
Don't know how or when, but I'm not giving up, nah
I'm not giving up, said I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
Don't know how I'll get there, I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
I'm not giving up yet, I'm not giving up yet (I'm not giving up yet)
Don't know how or when (I'm not giving up yet), but I'm not giving up, nah
I'm not giving up (and I'm not giving up yet), said I'm not giving up yet (neither are you)
Oh Lord
In Heaven above
I need you to send me a lifeboat, ooh
Oh Lord, yeah
