Never, Never, Never Give Up, also referred to as Never, Never Give Up is a song from the sixth season. A second version was later made using CGI footage as part of Thomas' YouTube World Tour on 22nd April 2015.
Lyrics
Season 6 version
- If you climb the highest mountain,
- Cross the river deep,
- Maybe you'll find it's never as easy
- As it first appears, as it first appears
- Just remember not to worry,
- Or get down at heart
- Never lose faith in positive thinking
- You'll be amazed when you achieve
- All the things you start,
- All the things you start. So,
Chorus:
- Never, never, never give up even though the going's tough
- Don't stop trying, when you're tiring, and you're out of puff
- No, never, never, never give up even though you're feeling rough
- If at first you don't succeed, never, never, never give up
- If at first you don't succeed, Then try and try again
- Nothing in life is ever as easy
- But you get there in the end, get there in the end
- So blow your cares and woes behind you
- Start a brand new day
- Nothing can stop you reaching your goal
- If you're determined, you can do it
- You will find a way, you will find a way. So,
(Chorus)
- Some things seem impossible, answers hard to find
- No matter how improbable, you won't know until you try
- You can do whatever you choose it just takes a little luck
- So remember never, never, never give up
(Repeat Chorus twice)
Never, never, never give up!
