[00:19.30]I remember wasn't so long ago
[00:21.93]We had a one-room shack and the living was low
[00:24.49]And mama by herself raised me and my bro
[00:26.87]Wasn't easy but she did it with the little that flowed
[00:29.37]Worked hard got us off to school everyday
[00:31.73]Keep our eyes on the star though the skies were gray
[00:34.04]Gave us drive to survive really showed us the way
[00:36.30]Now I really understand what she was trying to say
[00:37.71]She said son there'll be times when the tides are high
[00:41.04]And the boat may be rocky you can cry
[00:42.98]Just never give up (you can never give up)
[00:47.83]In this life you can lead if you only believe
[00:50.01]In order to achieve what you need
[00:52.38]You can never give up (you can never give up)
[00:56.44]And it's hope that keeps me holding on
[01:04.50]It's just hope that makes me carry on

[01:19.01]I got a wonderful life two kids of my own
[01:21.25]With a strong foundation that was carved in stone
[01:23.70]Thank my mother for the love that made my house a home
[01:26.07]Makes me wonder sometimes if it was meant to be
[01:28.43]All this for a humble little guy like me
[01:30.82]All ever really wanted was a family
[01:32.82]Teach my kids the same values that she gave to me
[01:35.32]She said son there'll be times when the tides are high
[01:38.00]And the boat may be rocky you can cry
[01:39.69]Just never give up (you can never give up)
[01:44.65]In this life you can lead if you only believe
[01:46.86]In order to achieve what you need
[01:49.27]You can never give up (you can never give up)
[01:54.32]And it's hope that keeps me holding on
[02:02.06]It's just hope that makes me carry on
