    A song I wrote initially about 12 years ago, but finally got around to recording it this year (2002). The inspiration was an encouraging attitude from my wife, who believed in me then, as always. Ideally the song tries to convey a general don't-give-up attitude. If it helps even just one single person become encouraged to not give up on their dreams (sniffle sniffle), then by God, it's ALL been worth it (insert violins here). Ahem, thank you.

    Story Behind the Song
    This song was recorded over 2 weeks in my studio using Mac G3s and MOTU hardware. Every instrument was performed by me including drums (programmed), all guitars and all vocals and backing vocals.

    Lyrics
    As I look back upon my life,
    and the things that I have done,
    I think of you and knew that you were there.
    When all my hopes and dreams,
    come crashing to the ground,
    you'd pick me up and come to my repair.

    And all through those times,
    when I seemed to be shot down,
    whispers blow through my mind,
    your echoed words resound
    "Do you best, take the test, most of all hear my request"

    Don't give up, don't give up
    push yourself as far as you can go
    don't give up
    believe that you, can make it through
    anyway you can, on this I can depend...
    don't give up

    When I look back upon our time
    and the things that we have done
    I think about the way we are today...
    And how much we have grown
    and how much we have seen
    it's who we are, and made us want to stay

    And all through those times,
    when it's hard to see the sky
    you moved the clouds away,
    enabling my eyes

    Believe in me, and you can see, what the world is meant to be...

    Don't give up, don't give up
    push yourself as far as you can go
    don't give up
    believe that you, can make it through
    anyway you can, on this I can depend...
    don't give up

    Oh lord, there's been so many times in my life,
    it crushes in and seems I can't go on...
    I feel, just like a pilgrim in this flight,
    I need to find my feet out on my own...

    Don't give up, don't give up
    push yourself as far as you can go
    don't give up
    believe that you, can make it through
    anyway you can, on this I can depend...
    don't give up
