Don’t ever give up, don’t ever give in
Don’t you ever let up, don’t you ever be quitting
Now it’ll be one year ago, the 10th of May
When he vanished into thin air just up up and away
And she still blames herself to this very single day
Was it something I did or something I didn’t say
In many ways she feels like her fault that he did it
He went out for milk but he never came back w/ it
She waits at home and waits by the phone
Three kids and unemployed and she still stuck all alone
So what you gonna do Ma now where you gonna go
Don’t give up things like these they come and go
Keep on holding on this is all I only know
In every single situation God’s in control
Don’t ever give up, don’t ever give in
Don’t you ever let up, don’t you ever be quitting
The second scenario just a little different
I don’t want to be specific or have to be explicit but
I’ll paint the picture and hopefully now you get it
It used to take place any time his uncle paid a visit
And everything that happened crushed him
He was scarred and destroyed just from one man’s lusting
Touched in places that he never should’ve been touched in
Scared him said he’d kill him and cut him just to hush him
And for 10 long years he couldn’t function
Tell he met the one and only person now that truly loved him
And found a refuge when the arm of Christ held him
If ya ask how he made it this is what he tells him that
Don’t ever give up, don’t ever give in
Don’t you ever let up, don’t you ever be quitting
Here’s the question now tell me what do you do
When you feel the whole world just got dropped on you
And everything you built crash land on top of you
And nobody seem to care just what your going through
Do ya give up give out drop out or drop in
Do you walk out wake up cop out or stop then
Now how much would it take for you to throw the towel in
How soon will you break now how soon ya giving in
How far can you make it if your always quitting then
That’s the message that I send hopefully ya hearing then
On man ya can’t depend so don’t put your trust in him
That’s what God be sayin now in case ya listening
Don’t you ever let up, don’t you ever be quitting
