There's only so much, that one can do,
And when there's no one, to help you through, you say "Why Father?"
And when times get rough, keep your head up,
and never ever take your eyes off the prize,
Don't let hope die.
As long as you're giving your all,
there's nothing to hold you back.
You've gotta keep your mind; dedicate all of your time,
Give everything that you have.
You can't give up, you've come too far to give up,
You've gotta get up, and give it one more try,
'Cause you're not perfect, I know you're not perfect,
God knows you're not perfect (just wipe the tears from your eyes)
There's no need to cry. No need to cry...
I know it's hard to see right now,
what would happen in due time when things work out,
Oh, I feel your pain, and I can relate, that's why I'm sure,
that you're gonna make it through,
as long as you keep your head up high!
As long as you're giving your all,
there's nothing to hold you back.
You've gotta keep your mind; dedicate all of your time,
Give everything that you have.
You can't give up, you've come too far to give up,
You've gotta get up, and give it one more try,
'Cause you're not perfect, I know you're not perfect, (No one is perfect)
God knows you're not perfect,
So there's no need to cry. No need to cry... (Don't cry, don't cry...)
There comes a time in life,
when you want to turn around and walk away,
and the choices that you make are not so pleasing.
(The choices made are all unclear...)
You must believe, you can achieve and conquer anything.
The race is not given to the swift nor to the strong...
You're not perfect, and God knows you're not perfect.
Give it one more try. You can't give up now!
You can't give up, you've come too far to give up,
You'd better get up, and give it one more try,
'Cause you're not perfect, I know you're not perfect,
God knows you're not perfect,
So there's no need to cry.
