In this life we're tested and tainted,
And only some make it through,
But we see hope in this garden of eden
And I'll never give it up, no!

Sweet renee she was destined for me,
We had a road to drive on,
But I let her sway from the headlights
And I had to give her up.

So I gave her,
Dead flowers,
And ran away,
Dead flowers,
They hit me in the wrong way.

Jack and jill they went climbing that mountain,
They went to hold hands,
But by the time they had got it together,
The view said to give it up.

Cos they saw,
Dead flowers,
And ran away,
Dead flowers,
They hit me in the wrong way
They hit me in the wrong way...

Now all these failures mean something,
My lonely heart is a mess
All these lows have hardened my soul,
But is there time for me yet?
To trust my mother was taken,
For a cause so bright and true
Will you give me some time to mourn,
With an angel like you?
All I want in my resting place
Let my roots unfurl
Well all at once I knew that I had,
All at once I knew that I had hope

I'll never give up, I'll never give it up!
