don't give up on me

keep going through these shadows
attracted by an odd glimmer in the distance
but the rain has washed its light away
keep walking steady despite the pain

don't give up on me, please,
don't give up on me

turning in circles in that narrow room
outside a bleeding pavement, resembles a cell
this whole damned living feels as a prison
keep waiting for the bells...


         Thunder, and a lightning
         aiming to wake me up
         Thunder, and a lightning
         Lord it really shook me up...

keep going through these shadows
attracted by an odd glimmer in the distance
but the rain has washed its light away
keep walking steady despite the pain


keep walkin' on these dim streets
keep breathin' that unwholesome air
keep wishng on an ideal
take what comes, give what you can

keep stumbling in a muddy lane
follow the path of the human being
bring it all down to 'what it is'
the answer still remains unheard

convey that message to the audience
live & learn, love it your own way
if we stick to each other
it's gonna come shine our way
