Trade winds keep on blowing
My life keeps on going
Jah love keeps on flowingJust yesterday I was hoping for tomorrow
And I trust and pray it would bring a brighter future
My life has been filled with ups and downs
Sometimes I never knew which way to turnWhen the going gets rough, the tough gets going
'Cause I never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken up inside
I never give up my pride
Even though they try to push me aside
I never give up my prideDon't you remember when?
Didn't depend on hopes and dreams
I had to push on through trying to find the ways and means
My life has been filled with twists and turns
Sometimes I never knew which way to turnWhen the going gets rough, the tough gets going
'Cause I never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken up inside
I never give up my pride
Though at times my world may seem to capsize
I never give up my prideTrade winds keep on blowing
My life keeps on going
Jah's love keeps on flowingSo I never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken down inside
I never give up my pride
Though my world may seem sometimes to capsize
I never give up my prideAlthough I paid my dues
They won't let me be what I wanna be
But they would like to see me succumbing to society
My life has been filled with ups and downs
Sometimes I never knew which way to turnWhen the going gets rough, the tough gets going
'Cause I never give up my pride
Even though I'm broken up inside
I never give up my pride
Even though sometimes my world capsize
Never give up my pride
