[Intro:]
Trade winds keep on blowing
My life keeps on going
Jah love keeps on flowing

[Verse 1:]
Just yesterday
I was hoping for tomorrow
And I trust and prayed
It would bring a brighter future
My life has been filled with ups and downs
Woah woah
Sometimes I never knew which way to turn
Woah woah

[Chorus:]
When the going gets rough
The tough gets going cause I
Will never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken up inside
I never give up my pride
Even though they tried to push me aside
I never give up my pride

[Verse 2:]
Remember when
We didn't depend on hopes and dreams
I had to push on through
Trying to find the ways and means
My life has been filled with twists and turns
Woah woah
Sometimes I never knew which way to turn
Woah woah

[Chorus:]
When the going gets rough
The tough gets going cause I
Will never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken up inside
I never give up my pride
Though at times my world may seem to capsize
I'll never give up my pride

[Bridge:]
Trade winds keep on blowing
My life keeps on going
Jah's love keeps on flowing
So I
Never give up my pride

[Chorus:]
Even though I'm broken down inside
I never give up my pride
Though my world may seem sometimes to capsize
I never give up my pride

[Verse 3:]
Although I paid my dues
They won't let me be what I wanna be
But they would like to see
Me succumb into society
My life has been filled with ups and downs
Woah woah
Sometimes I never knew which way to turn
Woah woah

[Chorus:]
When the going gets rough
The tough gets going cause I
Will never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken up inside
I never give up my pride
Even though sometimes my world capsize
Never give up my pride
