John Mark Thomas - Can't Give Up Lyrics

I wonder if the phoenix fears the fire
Come to make the old brand new
With his feet upon the pyre
Dare to see the journey through

Staring down my dreams
Makes a coward out of me
And my wounded soul

But I can't give up
No I won't give in
There's a mountain still to climb
So I can't give up
Though the walls cave in
Gotta see it through this time

Sometimes I feel like such a failure
Like it's all I ever do
Set my eye on something greater
But I lack the follow-through

Stuck here in-between
With this anchor 'round my feet
Starts to take its toll

But I can't give up
No I won't give in
There's a mountain still to climb
So I can't give up
Though the walls cave in
Gotta see it through this time

Oh, the path is a mystery
And nothing comes easily
That much I know
But, oh, the future is beckoning
And I'll face a reckoning
If I don't go

So I can't give up
No I won't give in
There's a mountain still to climb
No I can't give up
Though the walls cave in
Gotta see it through this time
