When you wanna do something that’s new
And it seems really, really hard to do
You feel like quitting, you feel you’re through
Well I have some advice for you

Don’t give up, keep on trying
Y’all gonna make it (ah yeah) don’t give up
Don’t ever quit, try and try and you can do it, don’t give up (yeah)

If you want to catch a ball, but you’re having no luck at all
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose
It hits your belly, your chin and toes
Well try and try and try again, keep on trying and soon
You’ll put your hands out in the air
You’ll catch that ball, yes this I swear

Don’t give up, keep on going
You’re on a boat, so keep on rowing
Don’t give up, don’t ever stop
Try and try and you’ll come out on top, don’t give up

You got yourself new roller-skates
You put them on and you feel great
Stand up, but then you fall
Don’t think you can skate at all
You get back up and then you trip
You skip and tip and slip and flip
Well try and try and try some more
And soon you’re skating across the floor

Don’t give up, keep on moving
You’re gonna get there just keep on grooving
Don’t give up, don’t pack it in
Try and try and you will win, don’t give up
No no no, don’t give up
No no no, don’t give up
No no no, don’t give up, no no
Don’t give up
