Lyrics
Trouble, confusion and doubt
Trouble, confusion, and doubt
Struggle, can't find a way out
Struggle, unable to find a way out
Hopeless, painful unfair
Feeling hopeless, experiencing painful unfairness
Don't matter
Regardless of circumstances
The fight is not done
Despite challenges, the fight is ongoing
As long as there is air and the stars are shining
Amidst existence of air and shining stars
Your heart is beating there is hope
Hope persists as long as the heart beats
You find the strength in his word and presence
Strength is found in faith and divine presence
You are not alone
Emphasizing solidarity – not alone
Don't you ever give up
An urging command: never surrender
Don't you ever give up
Reiteration of the call to persevere
Don't you ever give up
Continued emphasis on not giving up
He is holding your hand
An assurance of divine support and guidance
Don't you ever give up
Repeat of the imperative: never give up
Don't you
Continuation of the encouragement
New life, victorious in pain
Promise of a new, victorious life despite pain
Winner when battles seem lost
Being a winner even when faced with apparent defeat
Stronger, a diamond in God
Becoming stronger, akin to a precious diamond in God
Savior, healer of wounds.
Depicting God as a savior and healer of wounds
As long as there is air and the stars are shining
Reiteration of hope in the presence of air and stars
Your heart is beating there is hope
Hope persists as long as the heart beats
You find the strength in his word and presence
Strength found in faith and divine presence
You will not be alone
Assurance of not being alone
Don't you ever give up
Repetition of the command to never give up
Don't you ever give up
Continued emphasis on perseverance
Don't you ever give up
Final reinforcement of the message: never give up
