Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Woke up dis mornin' feelin' heavy an' cold
De weight of de world rest pon mi shoulders
Every road I walked on left me broken an' tired
But mi heart hear a voice, deep an' bold
Said de fire inside can't be controlled
Walk de road, feelin' battered an' older
Jah voice whisper truth inna mi soul
Said de fire inside you cannot be controlled
[Chorus]
Never give up, mi haffi press on
Jah give I the strength from dusk til dawn
Every teardrop mek I twice as strong
Never give up, mi haffi press on
[Verse 2]
Mi see Mama cry when de money run dry
Saw mi brothers fall when de pressure got high
Breddas dem fall, when de pressure sky high
But I took that pain an' I turned it to light
Took all dat pain an' turn it to light
Now I lift mi head and I stand up an' fight
Lift mi head, ready fi di fight
[Chorus]
Never give up, mi haffi press on
Jah give I the strength from dusk til dawn
Every teardrop mek I twice as strong
Never give up, mi haffi press on
[Verse 3]
De system try break mi, tear mi apart
But Jah love reside deep inna mi heart
Every struggle a lesson, wisdom mi gain
Stand firm, true to Jah name
Heartache an' pain, where mi belong
Rise like de sun, mi go rise again
[Bridge]
Through storm an' rain, mi stand strong
Heartache an' pain, where mi belong
Jah love a mi shelter, mi never in vain
Rise like de sun, mi go rise again
[Chorus]
Never give up, mi haffi press on
Jah give I the strength from dusk til dawn
Every teardrop mek I twice as strong
Never give up, mi haffi press on
[Outro]
Carry on, carry on, wid Jah love mi strong
Carry on, mi rise again, Jah love carry on
