Don't Stop - Steve Forbert

So you’re down,

So it’s hard,

Don’t stop,

Don’t stop now.

Stop an' you’re negating

Ev’rything that you’ve been waiting for so long;

Stop an' you’re denying

Ev’rything that you’ve been trying for so long.

So you’re down,

So it’s hard,

Don’t stop,

Don’t stop now.

What you gonna do when

You’re not in there tryin' t' do what you can do?

I know you can do it If you’ll only just stick to it’s up to you.

There comes a time when things look so uncertain,

Seems like fate just won’t allow

Reason’s rhyme, but you set sail for something

And I’m on that dream boat now.

So you’re down,

So it’s hard,

Don’t stop,

Don’t stop now.

Don’t say you don’t care about

The whereabouts of why it’s not insane;

Don’t say it don’t matter,

Got to climb that broken ladder in the rain.

In your eyes I look to find the person

That I’ve always found before,

If she’s gone, I just can’t say for certain

I belong here anymore.

So you’re down,

So it’s hard,

Don’t stop,

Don’t stop now.

World don’t owe you nothing

An' the world don’t show you nothing but the door,

But when you surrender

All your hopes an' dreams will end there, that’s for sure.

So you’re down,

So it’s hard,

Don’t stop,

Don’t stop.
