See lyrics

Minutes feel like hours
And the hours feel like days
And the days feel like forever
But I'll never say never

No, I will not cower
Never will I faint
I'll wait through whatever
'Til my life get better

And though I feel pain inside I just
(Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up)
Oh, I just
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire) fire

I don't know how much longer, no
I'm gonna have to wait
But I must keep my head up
I won't give in to pressure, no

My faith is growing stronger, stronger
Defeat is not my fate
Though I don't feel great at this moment
But no one can steal my joy

That's why I
(Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up)
Oh, that's why I
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire) fire

I (can't give up, can't give up, can't give up) no, no, no
That's why I
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)
Hmm, though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)

Oh, oh, oh
(Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up)
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)

'Cause it only makes me stronger
Yes, it only makes me stronger

Oh, oh, oh, I
(Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up)
Oh, oh, I
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire) oh, oh, oh
Though I go through the fire
(Fire, fire, fire, fire) ooh, yeah

All that time
(Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up)
I wanna keep on moving on
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)

Oh, oh, oh
(Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up)
No
(Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up)
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)
(Fire, fire, fire, fire)

Can't give up, can't give up, can't give up
Won't give up, won't give up, won't give up
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire
