I can see the sadness in your eyes Hard knocks an' hurt are hard to hide It can be a long an' lonely ride But it makes ya strong inside
When you're down an' out the streets get rough You need love but ya just don't enough An' ya feel like no one's on your side
When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it
Don't surrender don't surrender Cause the fight inside your hearts Your best defender don't surrender
Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown An' there ain't enough luck to go around All your dreams they crash right to the ground You wanna get right outta town
You can say 'What the hell I've given up lay down to die' but it's just a bluff Cause ya know there's no place left to hide
Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded
Don't surrender don't surrender Cause the fight inside your hearts Your best defender don't surrender Don't give up when ya know you right When you're feelin all alone just remember Don't surrender
When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it
