Don't give up till it's over, don't quit if you can
The weight on your shoulder will make you a stronger man
Grasp your nettle tightly, though it will burn
Treat your failures lightly, your luck is bound to turn
Don't give up till it's over, don't quit if you can
The weight on your shoulder will make you a stronger man
Look at the autumn flowers how they wither and fade
With nature's hidden powers, next year they'll be re-made
Don't give up till it's over, don't quit if you can
The weight on your shoulder will make you a stronger man
Watch the full moon rising, like a ghost of the sun
Oh, dawn will be more surprising, when a new day has begun
Don't give up till it's over, don't quit if you can
The weight on your shoulder will make you a stronger man
Don't give up till it's over, don't quit if you can
The weight on your shoulder will make you a stronger man
