"Don't Stop" lyrics

"Don't Stop"

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' to 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
