Not Givin' Up Words and Music by SHEILA KIRSTEN HUGHES I was made of fire Born of liquid steel Cast into a mold That I would break with my bear hands I've been fitted with an engine That could bring a mountain down I've got it revved up and ready for one hellish ride I'm going straight up, straight up I'm not givin' up! 12 wheels of iron To grip the crumbling clay Torque and perserverance To move the earth from my way And all these people on the train tracks Tryin' to stop me for "my own good" But they will not derail me Don't know what made them think they could I'm not givin' up! I'm not givin' up! Once I got loose I hit the ground running Didn't look back, I knew there was nothing for me Who am I if I don't make the world better Who am I if I don't try? I'm not givin' up! Crazymakers all around To light us up then burn us down Like monsters lurking In what darkness they can find Now I don't know what the future holds But I know one thing's for sure We'll never get there if we don't get going So, all aboard! Let's ride! We're not givin' up! Once you get loose, we'll hit the ground running We won't look back, we know they've got nothing for us. Who are we if we don't make the world better? Who are we if we don't try? We're not givin' up! Copyright © 2006 Sheila Kirsten Hughes, ASCAP. All Rights Reserved
