Livingston Taylor - Never Lose Hope

{Verse 1}
You can do it ‘till the dream comes true
You can do it ‘till the sky goes blue
I know it’s dark
But in your heart
There’s a light that will see you through

Here’s a melody to help you cope
Even when you’re at the itty bitty end of your rope
Jump up, join in again
Shoulders up, stick out your chin
Elbow grease and soap
Never lose hope

{Verse 2}
Open up and start to breathe
Wear your heart upon your sleeve
Follow the fairy tale
Down the winding trail
Hold on and believe

Show them all what you’re of
That the only choice is love
And if they ask if you’re afraid
Not to join the big parade
You can just tell them “nope”
Never lose hope

{Verse 3}
The new year starts tomorrow
The past has done it’s worst
No need to hide
The world’s so wide
Water for your thirst
Even Boston lost its curse

Saddle up and start to ride
Giddy-up, you’ve found your stride
Gallop away on this beautiful day
It was all inside
You toughed it out and made it through
And you stayed true to you
You’re on the other side
You left behind your foolish pride
Your name’s in the envelope
Never lose hope
