For when you didn't sink that last shot before the game ended
For the time you didn't do that last problem
And failed the math quiz
Don't stop now
For when your brother fought with your sister and you had to break it up
When you need five more yards to earn that record in the final game
And there's time for one more play
For the time you almost finished dinner but think you're too full
Don't stop now

Don't stop now
Don't stop breaking that ridiculous rule at school
Don't stop inviting new kids to sit at your lunch table
Don't stop trying to do that thing you think is impossible to be achieved
Don't stop studying for your big tests tomorrow
Don't stop helping kids who are being bullied
Don't stop standing up for people who have done no wrong
Don't stop now
Arguing when you know you're right
Talking when you need to be heard
Running when you're almost there
Don't stop now
When there's that one runner who just can't reach the finish
And you help him out
When you need one more sentence to write
One minute before the final school bell
When You have forty-seven points
And need that buzzer-beating three pointer to earn fifty
Don't stop now

For when you're the final swimmer in a heated competition
And need the win
For when your friends are begging you to talk to that girl
For the time you had to improvise a speech in front of the class
And you're going smoothly
Don't stop now

There are times when stopping is the right thing
Like lying and criticizing
Arguing and arguing
There is no need
Pass to your teammates
Don't take it all for yourself
Things could backfire
And you could end up with no one wanting to help
Don't lie don't cheat
Don't ever cheat
Stop doing these horrible things
When it comes down to the point
And you're just not sure how
Try learning how to do it
Never give up
All you have to know is
Don't stop now
