I WILL NEVER SURRENDER

I WILL NEVER SURRENDER

No matter who falls
Broken
By the wayside
No matter who flees
From the fray
No matter who
Loses interest
Or Faith
Or Hope

No matter who laughs
At my efforts
No matter who mocks me
Or spits upon me
No matter what barbs
Are flung at me
In disregard for what I believe
No matter how slim the chance
No matter how high the mountain
No matter how mighty the enemy
I WILL NEVER SURRENDER

And while I yet breathe
And think
And stand
And hope
While I live
Tyranny is not safe

As long as
ONE MIND
ONE HEART
ONE FREE MAN
Still lives

The dawn will come
No matter how dark the night
No matter how long the road
No matter how heavy the chains
If free men live
To cast them off
The dawn will still come

As long as I live...
I will never surrender
