about

This song was originally written in 2007! I wrote this while playing guitar for my son who was taking a bath. I started by playing something that felt like the introduction to Sesame Street. This was also why it took an encouraging, positive direction. This was another song that I loved so much, but was afraid to release for fear of “getting it wrong.” I think I got it right with the help of my friends, fifteen years later.

lyrics

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
You might hit a wall but
That’s to be expected
Please don’t give up

Don’t forget
Don’t forget
Don’t forget there are
People who will help you
Please don’t forget

When you cannot find a friend
When you feel there’s no hope and
When you see no light at the end of the tunnel
End of the tunnel
I hope this finds you

Don’t let go
Don’t let go
You may find strength in
Unexpected places
Please don’t let go

Just hold on
Just hold on
This moment will pass and there’s
People here that love you
Please just hold on

When you cannot find a friend
When you feel there’s no hope and
When you see no light at the end of the tunnel
End of the tunnel
I hope this finds you

Clouds will come, wind and rain
Sorrow and pain, yeah that’s for sure
Strong winds blow, that’s when you’ll know
That’s when you’ll know from where
You’ve come, from where you’ve come
I hope this finds you

I hope this finds you

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up

You may find strength in unexpected places
Look around at all these loving faces
We love you so much and there’s no one that replaces, no, replaces you

Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up
