Don’t give up,
No matter what
Life throws at you.
Don’t give up,
Let your light shine
That all might bask
In your glory.

Don’t give up, please.
“But I’m scared,”
You say.
And I understand,
Because life is scary,
I know.
But, darling,
Stars like you
Are not a dime a dozen.
Don’t give up,
Even if the world
Is against you.

Don’t give up, darling.
“But this is hard,”
You say.
And I know that,
Perhaps better than many.
But don’t give up,
Because we’re both still here,
Aren’t we?
I know surviving might be hard,
But for me, darling, please
Don’t give up.

Don’t give up.
“But it’s not worth it,”
You say.
Darling, don’t believe that;
Any reason to be is a good one.
You are stardust and moonlight,
And more precious than any constellation.
Don’t give up.

Don’t give up.
Knock them dead,
Darling.
Though the going will be rough,
Always remember that you’re a star.
And darling, please,
Just don’t give up.
