Lyrics: Donald Lawrence/Stanley Brown
Music: Donald Lawrence/Stanley Brown
I know the day is dim, chances may be slim
Hold on to what you believe, yeah
I know it hurts inside, sometimes you sit and cry
You gotta hold on to what you believe
Trouble only lasts for a while
Joy's gonna come with the morning light
Into every life, some rain must fall
But trials come to make us strong
My brother, don't give up, you just keep on hanging on
Be strong
Oh, my sister, don't give in
You just keep the faith and you will win
Don't give up
My mama always said, never to lose my head
When problems seem to surround me
So when my day gets bad, I think of what she said
And I take it to God and pray
Trouble only lasts for a while
But joy's gonna come with the morning light
Into every life, some rain must fall
But your trials, they come just to make us strong
Oh, my brother, don't give up, you just keep on hanging on
Be strong
Oh, my sister, don't give in
You just keep the faith and you will win
Don't give up
Everybody say hang on (Hang on)
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Hang on (Hang on)
(Never give up)
Trouble only lasts for a while
But joy's gonna come with the morning light
Into every life, some rain must fall
But your trials, they come just to make you strong
Oh my brother don't give up, you just keep on hanging on
Be strong
Oh, my sister, don't give in
You just keep the faith and you will win
Don't give up
Oh, my brother, don't give up, you just keep on hanging on
Be strong
Oh, my sister, don't give in
You just keep the faith and you will win
Don't give up
