Curtis Mayfield - People Never Give Up lyrics

My father Our father I pray a little letter to you Tried to send you a Christmas The postman couldn't get it through You're up somewhere in the air Wherever your nights are, you may sleep But I know you live in my heart Where it's warm and your spirit keeps I'm just a man Plain simple folk Of instinct good and bad (I'm so bad) Hate to think you created me and I always make you sad Are you up to healing for feeling Believe me, there's no place to go (oh no) If you're willing, my lord, pick me up and let me know Keep me in my solitude Help me deal with loneliness If ever I become depressed Touch me and I'll do the rest Pull me from my wicked sin Show me where I start again My needs are beyond the words I say My God will not betray People never give up You just never give up People never give up You just never give up Our father Our father in heaven I pray a little letter to you Tried to send you a Christmas The postman couldn't get it through Keep me in my solitude Help me deal with loneliness If ever I become depressed Touch me and I'll do the rest Pull me from my wicked sin Show me where I start again My needs are beyond the words I say And my God will not betray People never give up Just you never give up People never give up Just you never give up People never give up My God will not betray My God will not betray My God will not betray (keep the faith baby)
