We had a one room shack and the livin' was low F And my mama by herself raised me and my bro
Wasn't easy, but we did it with the little that go C Worked hard while the suckers cool every day
And kept her eyes on the stars when the skies were grey F Gave us pride to survive, really showed us the way
Now I really understood what she was tryin' to say C She said, "Son there'll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry F Just never give up you can never give up," uh-uh C In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need F You can never give up
You can never give up
CC9F And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on CC9F and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
C Boom-boom , couldn't have made it alone
I got a wonderful life, two kids on my own F With a strong foundation that was carved in stone
And my mama for the love that made my house a home C Made me wonder some time if this was meant to be
All this for a humble little guy like me F And all I ever really wanted was a family
To teach my kids the same value that she gave to me C She said, Son there'll be times when the tides are high
And the boat may be rocky, you can cry F Just never give up
You can never give up, uh-uh C In this life you could lead if you only believe
And in order to achieve what you need F You can never give up
You can never give up
CC9F And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on CC9F and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
C We nah turn no stepper, things a go better
Never let yourself be overcome by pressure F Cool yah me bredda, have faith instead a
Sid-dung and a watch and all a fight one another C Blaze like fire, nah go retire
God nah sleep and a him inspire F We hav a reach higher a that him require
Haffi mek we mark before the time expire
CC9F And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on CC9F and this hope that makes me carry on on and on CC9F And this hope that keeps me holding on on and on CC9F and this hope that makes me carry on on and on
