I'M Not Givin' Up

I’m Not Givin’ Up

It’s like I woke up & saw the runway ahead, had been extended

Places I could go and things I could do that I thought had ended

So what can I share that’s only mine to share while I’m still livin

And what are the gifts I want to leave that only I’ll be givin now

I’m not givin’ up til I write a song that you pray is gonna find you

I’m not givin’ up til I tell the tale that comforts and reminds you

There’s something inside us all that’s yearning for expression

Not somebody elses but our heart of heart’s true confession

My gift may come slow but I’m sure you’ll know just who exactly sent it

Nobody but me sends you gifts like these no one else could reinvent it

We all have a voice we buried deep in the great pandemic

Let’s shout it out now all the truths we know that are authentic



I’m not givin’ up til I write a song that you pray is gonna find you

I’m not givin’ up til I tell the tale that comforts and reminds you

There’s something inside us all that’s yearning for expression

Not somebody elses but our heart of heart’s true confession



And the gift I got I’m more than grateful for

Extending to the skies where I can truly soar



I’m not givin’ up til I write the song that you pray is gonna find you

I’m not givin’ up til I tell the tale that comforts and reminds you

I’m not givin’ up, you came with a gift, a gift that is so worth giving

I’m not giving up so neither should you, you make all of our lives worth living



There’s something inside us all that’s yearning for expression

Not somebody elses but our heart of heart’s true confession
