Don't Give Up.
Before you do it
Come take my hand
We're going for a walk.
I know just what you're going to do
And I think we need to talk.
We'll go left
Or we'll go right
The choice is up to you.
Our path depends on only one thing
How do you see you?
The path you choose
Is left
So that's the way we'll go.
It's a path of feeling worthless
Just so that you know.
Right now
I need to show you
What you're going to miss.
If you choose to give up now
And give in to the devil's kiss.
Look right there
That's your family
They're at your first preformance.
But I don't think you'll be there
Because you've given up on dance.
Over there
You'll see your grandparents
They're holding your new guitar.
But I don't think you'll be there
Because you've given up who you are.
To you're right
You'll see a guy
He wants to ask you out.
But I don't think you'll be there
Because you've picked a different route.
I would go on
But I won't say more
I think you understand.
Now I want you to answer me this
Do you still want your life to end?
See I was right
Listen to me
This is a better way.
You're heading in a new direction now
So I've got one last thing to say.
Whipe the blood
Off of your hand
And put the blade away.
Your life is worth more than you think
Tomorrow will be a better day.
