Kristin Lems: Song Lyrics

Disc One: We Will Never Give Up

(Kristin Lems)
2007-07-15
words and music by Kristin Lems, adapted from a text by Jill Ruckelshaus
I am asking everything you have to give...
We will never give up
We will never give in
You will lose your youth, your sleep, your arches, your strength, your patience, your sense of humor
And occasionally, the love and support of people you love very much.

But we will never give up,
We will never give in.

In return, I have nothing to offer you but this:
Your pride in being a woman, all the dreams that you have for your daughters
Your pride in being a woman, all the dreams that you have for yourself.

We will never give up,
We will never give in

And the knowledge that, at the end of your days, you will be able to look back and say,

I never gave up,
I never gave in,
We never gave up,
We never gave in,
We will never give up,
We will never give in
Until justice is ours!
