Never Give Up By Maggie Life was tough for me growing up
People like me wherever I go
I washed every floor and cup after cup
Even people I don’t even know
I loved my family, every one
You think, oh how could this be?
They loved me, but not my mum
Because God is in me, and the people can see
My name is Maggie and I’m from Ireland Life for me is still tiring
You people think I’m stone mad
I’ve not told you my story yet
No I’m not, I’m not that sad
But when you read it you’ll never forget
I’m a human being with a great big heart
How one girl’s struggle carried on ‘n’ on
I want to see my family and never depart
Right up until her whole family was gone
It’s all so much easier said than done
Lived like this for so long
They all turned their backs on me everyone
Has made me tough, has made me strong
That’s why I’m asking to write my story
No matter what I’ve been through
I’ve still got guts, I still got glory
I still love her and I still love you
Never give up
