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



Don't surrender

Don't surrender
