Don't give up.

It seems the night will never turn to day
It seems the child would never grow to crawl
It seems our wishes are fantasies that would never come true
It seems our words so spoken would mean no good things
It seems that life has turned her back and fate would always mock us
Like our red seas would never path
Upon our confusion ever powerful, our hopes ever bleak
The wise still assertive would say
Don't you give up
Don't you give up!

When the roses refuse to go red and our farms refuse to speak
When our kinsmen are hopeful that one day, we would enrich the sullen feet of the earth.

Don't you give up!

Because neither the Antelope chased by the Cheetah and neither does the winter wind blur your faces...
The old man is wise as he says he is young
So don't you give up because it only gets better when you never give up.
Waste your time so you have no way to take your life
For in due time we will all fade away
So wait, and don't give up.
Until the seas are made land and man is guarded by day... We would not loose our humanity, lest we perish.
Don't give up.
Even until death, even when life dies
Even when all have lost hope
And all you see in the mirror looks like the end. Don't you give up  
Because even after death, there is life!

Olatunde Chidera Obafemi.

Don't Give Up...

It seems the night will never turn to day 

It seems the child would never grow to crawl 

It seems our wishes are fantasies that would never come true 

It seems our words so spoken would mean no good things

It seems that life has turned her back and fate would always mock us

Like our red seas would never path 

Upon our confusion ever powerful, our hopes ever bleak 

The wise still assertive would say 

Don't you give up 

Don't you give up!
