Off-Topic Stander's lyrics....
OP: March 19, 2012, 03:26:00 AM
I heard this twice this morning on the radio -- once just after my radio alarm turned on, and also first thing when I turned on the car this morning....  had to look it up, but here it is:

Jason Mraz -- "I wont' give up".  Apparently the album is coming out mid-April, which would explain why I'd never heard it before.....


"I Won't Give Up"

Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmmm ... Hmmm ...

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
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?

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've 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
Still looking up.

I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough, he knows (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)

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 a BIG Jason Mraz fan, he's from my area, went to school here, family is all still here and he comes home often...it's so good to see how well he's doing.  He is one of the most positive people I have ever known in my life!!!  He is very inspiring in many ways, but his positive attitude and gratitude for all things is unmatched by anyone I've ever known.  Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now  ;D  Great song, thanks for sharing
