This world can leave an ugly bruise

I’ve felt my share of bruises too

The joy of life is too elusive to last

Happiness provokes its own wrath

Losing strength with every strike

Chronic pain is the price of life

Swing after swing, blow after blow

Living life can really take a toll

Life can suck

Numbing misery buried inside

A remedy is nowhere to find

No one knows what you’re going through

God doesn’t seem to be listening to you

Emptiness engulfed by despair

Running out of smiles or the strength to care

Hope is fading to a futile end

Loneliness is your closest friend

Life can suck

Life can suck

Life can suck

Life throws punches whether you fight it or not

Put up your fists and throw your best shots

When you take a fall and you’ve had enough

You must muster the strength to pick yourself up

Don’t ever give up

Don’t ever give up

Don’t ever give up

Don’t ever give up

Keep trying and fighting

And kicking and biting

Hang on, hang on

Hang on, don’t give up

Keep persisting and resisting

And writhing and twisting

Hang on, hang on

Hang on, don’t give up

When everything is going wrong

You must keep pushing on

When the going gets rough

Don’t you ever give up

Keep fighting the fight

Don’t let it get the best of you

Keep your chin up high

Don’t lose hope whatever you do

Keep your dreams in sight

Fight until you see them through

Don’t ever give up
