I remember when I was just a boy Mama said this world was not always a paradise And there are things that will try to take away your pride Sometimes ya know to show your love you've got to fight But ay ee, ay ee, aye She said to never run away You got to stand up tall and look it in the eye And ay ee ay ee, aye I will survive another day And I will hold on to this light until the day I die So don't you give up on me And I won't give up on you And do you have faith in me Cause you know that I still believe In what we've got One love, one life, throw your hands up high Cause all I'm trying to do Is stay human with you Stay human with you All I'm trying to do Is stay human with you I remember when I became a man Along the road of understanding what it's all about The past will not define me And the future can't defeat me I will hold on to this light until the day I die So don't you give up on me (Don't you give up on me) And I won't give up on you (I won't give up on you) And do you have faith in me (Oh, do you have faith in me) Cause you know that I still believe In what we've got One love, one life, throw your hands up high Cause all I'm trying to do Is stay human with you Stay human with you I know we'll weather the storm Not even nuclear war Would ever stop me from speaking the truth So don't you give up on me (Don't you give up on me) And I won't give up on you (I won't give up on you) And do you have faith in me (Oh, do you have faith in me) Cause you know that I still believe In what we've got One love, one life, throw your hands up high Cause all I'm trying to do Is stay human with you One love, one life, throw your hands up high Cause all I'm trying to do Is stay human with One love, one life, throw your hands up high Cause all I'm trying to do Is stay human with you One love, one life, throw your hands up high Cause all I'm trying to do Is stay human with you
