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
