Dark is the night
I can weather the storm
Never say die
I’ve been down this road before

I’ll never quit
I’ll never lay down
See, I’ve promised myself
That I’d never let me down

So, I’ll never give up, never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall, I’ll never fail
I’ll just get up and try again

Never lose hope, never lose faith
There’s much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I’m not looking for place to show, I’m gonna win

No stopping now
There’s still a ways to go
Ohh, someway, somehow
Whatever it takes I know

I’ll never quit, no, no
I’ll never go down
I’ll make sure they remember my name
A hundred years from now

I’ll never give up, never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall, I’ll never fail
I’ll just get up and try again

I’ll never lose hope, never lose faith
There’s much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I’m not looking for place to show, I’m gonna win

When it’s all said and done
My once in a lifetime, won’t be back again
Now is the time, to take a stand
Here is my chance, that’s why I
Never give up, never give in
Never let a ray of doubt slip in
And if I fall, I’ll never fail
I’ll just get up and try again
Never lose hope, never lose faith
There’s much too much at stake
Upon myself I must depend
I’m not looking for place to show, I’m gonna win
