Don't You Dare
And that you're far ahead of it,
Watch out
Because it's then that it sneaks up to grab you
And pull you right back down with it.
So don't you dare,
Don't you dare even think about quitting
You're in it this far
Just keep your head up
And keep on pushing
You'll make it all right
It's when you think that you're done
And you tell yourself that you can't go any farther
Then you have to look yourself in the eyes
And say, "Get up, get up"
And don't ever give up
For you are better than this.
So don't you dare
Don't you dare even think about quitting,
You're in it this far
Just keep your head up
And keep on pushing
You'll make it all right
And so when they say it's over
You say, "Never"
And then you must keep on going
Because it's that last mile that you go
When you think you can't go any farther
That will make all the difference in your life
So don't you dare
Don't you dare even think about giving up
When I know you have so much more to give
Don't you dare
Don't you dare.
