Don’t Give Up The Ghost 

Winding mountain trail above a glowing sunset valley beneath stars

You’re staring into the fire 

Watching your life seem to burn down all around you 

Don’t give up the ghost 

Don’t give up never surrender 

Though the fire may be burning all around threatening to overwhelm 

Hold fast  

You’re strong even when you feel weak 

You’ve been through this all before  

Though you may not have gotten out without getting burned  

You still got out don’t give up the ghost 

Don’t surrender to the darkness or the flame 

You’re the only one that can decide to keep on fighting 

No one else can make that choice for you  

No one else can keep you from surrendering to the darkness and the flame 

I know you need a light in the dark 

Let me help you with that 

I’ve been where you are now 

I’ve been surrounded by the darkness and the flame 

Of everything burning down around you 

I made it out and so can you  

I made it forth onward and upward 

Out of the pits that I found myself in 

I reached new heights that I never dreamed of and so can you if you don’t give up the ghost
