Keep On Trying
James Cottriall · Other Songs - James Cottriall
To hold onto yourself
'Cause there's no point denying
Even when you feel like there's no-one else.
You've gotta keep on trying
To let that light shine into your soul
'Cause all you need is love,
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Sometimes in life it seems
Nobody says quite what they mean
And it makes you feel so low.
And when you think that there's no chance
That you're never gonna find romance
And there's no place left to go
You've gotta keep on reaching for the sky.
Gotta keep your hope and spirit high.
You know you gotta keep on trying
To hold onto yourself
'Cause there's no point denying
Even when you feel like there's no-one else.
You've gotta keep on trying
To let that light shine into your soul
'Cause all you need is love,
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
We all have those rainy days
When nothing ever seems to go our way
And the tears run down your face.
I believe that the end is near
There's nothing left for you to fear
It'll all fall into place, into place.
You know you gotta keep on trying
To hold onto yourself
'Cause there's no point denying
Even when you feel like there's no-one else.
You've gotta keep on trying
To let that light shine into your soul
'Cause all you need is love,
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
Love, love
