Don't Give Up

I've had rocks thrown at my window
Been called every name that I know
But I am a fighter, I will never call it quits
So my wounded brother, let me tell you this:

Don't give up, love is waiting
I will hold your hand through all the hating
Don't give up, I am right here
And I will drive away your fears
So don't give up

You're hell-bound, that's what they'll tell you
But please don't let them sell you
Their ignorance is making them blind
And they don't see who you are inside

Don't give up, love is waiting
I will hold your hand through all the hating
Don't give up, I am right here
And I will drive away your fears
So don't give up

Please don't pull the trigger
Please don't don't make that leap
Love's arms are spreading open
Open up your wounded eyes and see

Don't give up, love is waiting
I will hold your hand through all the hating
Don't give up, I am right here
And I will drive away your fears
So don't give up


This is the first time I can remember tearing up at a song that I had written. This is dedicated to anyone who has ever felt different. You are loved. I know the journey is hard, but keep walking - it gets better; and love's arms are open wide - waiting for you to discover it. Don't give up.
