I can see the sadness in your eyes   Hard knocks an' hurt are hard to hide   It can be a long an' lonely ride   But it makes ya strong inside      When you're down an' out the streets get rough   You need love but ya just don't enough   An' ya feel like no one's on your side      When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it      Don't surrender don't surrender   Cause the fight inside your hearts   Your best defender don't surrender      Ya try so hard but ya feel just like a clown   An' there ain't enough luck to go around   All your dreams they crash right to the ground   You wanna get right outta town      You can say "What the hell I've given up lay down to die" but it's just a bluff   Cause ya know there's no place left to hide      Sometimes life seems like a war an' you're surrounded      Don't surrender don't surrender   Cause the fight inside your hearts   Your best defender don't surrender   Don't give up when ya know you right   When you're feelin all alone just remember   Don't surrender      When you wanna throw it all away an' you've had it      Don't surrender   Don't surrender
