Don't Lose Heart - Dobie Gray

This life is heartless and it’s rarely just

Full of sad betrayals and misplaced trust

And it can suck your spirit just as dry as dust

And steel your soul if you let it

Ooh every life contains its sorrows and pains

Its stormy weather and its rough terrains

You watch me wrestle with my length of chain

And smile so bravely as you tell me

Don’t lose heart, don’t lose heart

Though it feels like yours will fall apart

Just remember when the road gets dark

I will always be beside you

Well, I spend my life pursuing fortune and fame

Chasing rainbows in a shadow game

And I’m not sure what I’ve lost is worth the gain

Or why my soul remains so restless

You’ve seen me stumble, Lord, you’ve seen me fall

You shared my triumphs and you’ve seen me crawl

When I think that I could lose it all

You give me courage and you tell me

When the road gets rocky and the ride gets rough

And the best you got to give ain’t good enough

There will always be a place inside my love

Where you can find shelter, where you can find shelter

Ooh every life contains its sorrows and pains

Its stormy weather and its rough terrains

You watch me wrestle with my length of chain

And smile so bravely as you tell me

Don’t lose heart, oh don’t lose heart

Though it feels like yours will fall apart

Just remember when the road gets dark

I will always be beside you

Well, I will always be beside, beside you
