08. Don't Give Up

Closer
by Shawn McDonald



 

 

Sometimes it is hard to go on / It’s hard to see the reasons / For breathing,
living, letting love guide the way / But you must hold on // Don’t give up / Don’t give up / Hold on for
one more day // Sometimes we fall down / We get our selves in trouble / But it’s ok / ‘Cause we still
have another chance get it right / To get it right / I’ve come too far / I’ve seen so much / I’ve heard the
call and felt the touch / I’ve tasted love / That I cannot deny


Written by Shawn McDonald // © 2011 Birdwing Music / Shawn McDonald Music (Admin. at EMICMGPublishing.com) (ASCAP)

Behind the Song:
"This was basically a chant to not give up when things are difficult, even when it feels like things are falling apart. I wrote this during hard time, and I just kept reminding myself, “Don’t give up.” It just brought me a sense of peace, in a way, even while going through a difficult time. Even though sometimes I felt like throwing in the towel because I didn’t want to take the harder road, I had to remind myself to not give up." - Shawn
