Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis
Never Give Up
[Verse 1:]
Visions that can change the world
Trapped inside an ordinary girl
She looks just like me
Too afraid to dream out loud
And though it's simple, your idea
It won't make sense to everybody
You need courage now
If you're going to persevere

[Pre-Chorus:]
To fulfill your divine purpose
You've gotta answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world against all odds

[Chorus:]
Keep the dream alive don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try
Don't stop and never give up
Don't ever give up on you, don't give up

[Verse 2:]
Every victory comes in time
Work today to change tomorrow
It gets easier
Who's to say that you can't fly?
Every step you take you get
Closer to your destination
You can feel it now
Don't you know you're almost there?
[Pre-Chorus:]
To fulfill your divine purpose
(oohh oohh yeah yeah)
You've gotta answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world against all odds

[Chorus:]
Keep the dream alive don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try
Don't stop and never give up
Don't ever give up on you
Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your way
But you've gotta keep the faith
Bring what's deep inside your heart to the light
And never give up
Don't ever give up on you
Don't give up

[Bridge:]
Who holds the pieces to complete the puzzle?
The answer that can solve a mystery
The key that can unlock your understanding
It's all inside of you
You have everything you need
So...
Keep the dream alive don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try
Don't stop
And never give up
Don't ever give up on you...
Sometimes life can place a stubborn block on your way
But you gotta keep the faith
Bring what's deep inside your heart, yeah
...your heart to the light

And never give up
Don't ever give up on you
No, don't give up
No, no, no, no

Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Oh, don't, no, no, no, no
Don't give up
