Dear Open Mic Comunity
I am posting my contribution much later than anticipated. I recorded this video early this week and then a terrible accident happened to my mother in law leaving our little family in shock and traumatized. As we were dealing with everything that goes with an unexpected incident, continues hospital visits, waiting for test results, waiting for doctors, waiting for answers, hoping, praying, waiting some more, I was so busy keeping our family standing and functioning that I almost forgot to post.
But looking back now, there was a reason I had to wait with this post.
I recorded this song earlier this week because it was fitted for this week's theme not really thinking much further, but now I am posting it because I needed some faith, hope and love. I played it for myself not knowing it.
To everyone out there having a difficult time. I hope this song brings you some comfort.
I Won’t Give Up Lyrics
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars, they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences, they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts
We got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend, at least we did intend
For us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I'm still looking up
Well, I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough enough
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it)
