You've come too far,
you ain't gonna give up
Don't quit,
cause you ain't a quitter
Get up!
Reach your hands up
to the heavens
Guaran teed you will catch a blessing
Get up
Things are never the same
Always going for change
Born innocent,
now you're the one to blame
Feeling the guilt and the shame
But you have a gift
That no one else can present
You were made a special way,
and there ain't no one the same, oh
And I know you're struggling
to do what's right
Even though you've been doing it
wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Stop choosing the wrong
Believe that you can do it,
cause I believe if you quit
So many people gonna miss the train
And that's the cause of my pain
You've come too far,
you ain't gon' give up
Don't quit, cos you ain't a quitter
Get up
Reach your hands up to
the heavens
Guarantee you will catch a blessing
Get up
Look through the eyes of our young
And tell me what do you see
Nothing but the way we're liv ing
And every family's different
The younger try to live old
The older try to live young
No one knows what's really going on
Be honest when you're alone
Nowadays it's cool to be bad
It's cool to be the man
But be a man who lives with a dream,
dream, dream, dream
Don't bother,
you should be leading
It's time to live positive
It's time to live for our kids
So we can live to see a better day
And that's all we have to say
I want to live in paradise,
paradise, paradise for eternity
I want to live in paradise, paradise,
paradise, for eternity
Come too far, you ain't gonna give up
Don't quit cause you ain't a quitter
Get up!
Reach your hands up to the heavens
Guarantee you will catch a blessing,
blessing, blessing, blessing
