So you're down

So it's hard

Don't stop

Don't stop now

Stop an' you're negating

Ev'rything that you've been waiting for so long;

Stop an' you're denying

Ev'rything that you've been trying for so long

So you're down

So it's hard

Don't stop

Don't stop now

What you gonna do when

You're not in there tryin' t' do what you can do?

I know you can do it

If you'll only just stick to it's up to you

There comes a time when things look so uncertain

Seems like fate just won't allow

Reason's rhyme, but you set sail for something

And I'm on that dream boat now

So you're down

So it's hard

Don't stop

Don't stop now

Don't say you don't care about

The whereabouts of why it's not insane;

Don't say it don't matter

Got to climb that broken ladder in the rain

In your eyes I look to find the person

That I've always found before

If she's gone, I just can't say for certain

I belong here anymore

So you're down

So it's hard

Don't stop

Don't stop now

World don't owe you nothing

An' the world don't show you nothing but the door

But when you surrender

All your hopes an' dreams will end there, that's for sure

So you're down

So it's hard

Don't stop

Don't stop
