Don't Give Up Lyrics


When you wanna do something that's new.
And it seems really, really hard to do.
You feel like quiting, you feel you're through.
Well I have some advice for you, don't give up.
Keep on trying, ya'll gonna make it (ah yeah, yeah) don't give up.
Don't ever quit, try and try and you can do it, don't give up (Yeah)
If you want to catch a ball, but you're having no luck at all.
The ball hits your head, it hits your nose.
It hits your belly, your chin and toes.
Well try and try and try again, keep on trying and soon in end.
You'll put your hands out in the air, you'll catch that ball, yes this I swear
Don't give up, keep on going.
You won a fought so keep on rolling
Don't give up, don't ever stop,
Try and try and you'll come on out on top, don't give up.
You got yourself new rollerskates.
You put them on and you feel great,

Stand up, but then you fall, don't think you can skate at all.
You get back up and then you trip
You skip and tip and slip and flip
Well try and try and try some more, and soon you're skating across the floor.
Don't give up, keep on moving.
You're gonna get there just keep on grooving
Don't give up, don't pack it in,
Try and try and you will win, don't give up.
No no no, don't give up (Repeat x2)
No no, don't give up.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Clark Cole began singing at an early age with her sisters Karen, Twinkie, Jacky, and Denise. The sisters sang in their pastor father's church and usually performed songs written and composed by their mother. Clark Cole, who is referred to as the "jazzy sister" of the group, helped develop what is known as "The Clark Sound", which often features high and fast melismas, riffs, runs, and soulful growls.Dorinda sang lead on "Overdose Of The Holy Ghost", the B-side to The Clark Sisters' biggest single "You Brought The Sunshine".


Clark Cole's self-titled solo debut, released in 2002, won two Stellar Awards and a Soul Train Lady of Soul Award (Best Female Gospel Artist). The album featured the hit single "I'm Coming Out". Her second album, The Rose of Gospel, was released in 2005. The live portions of both albums were produced by Asaph Ward, famous for his work with Kim Burrell who counts Dorinda as well as the Clark Sisters as a direct vocal influence.

Dorinda was featured on the title track of Kirk Franklin's Hero album.

In addition to being a recording artist and evangelist, Clark Cole is a prominent figure in the Church of God in Christ, serving as president of the First Ecclesiastical Southwest Jurisdictional No. 1 of the Church of God in Christ and vice-president of the COGIC's International Music Department.
