Trade winds keep on blowing my life keeps on going Jah's love keeps on flowing Just yesterday I was hoping for tomorrow and I trust and pray it would bring a brighter future my life has been filled with ups and downs sometimes I never knew wich way to turn [Chorus:] When the going gets rough the tough gets going cause I never give up my pride even though I'm broken up inside I'll never give up my pride even though they try to push me aside I'll never give up my pride Don't you remember when I didn't depend on hopes and dreams I had to push on through trying to find the ways and means my life has been filled with twists and turns sometimes I never knew which way to turn [Chorus:] When the going gets rough the tough gets going cause I never give up my pride even though I'm broken up inside I'll never give up my pride though at times my world may seem to capsize I'll never give up my pride Trade winds keep on blowing my life keeps on going Jah's love keeps on flowing so I never give up my pride even though I'm broken up inside I'll never give up my pride though my world may seem to sometimes to capsize I'll never give up my pride Although I paid my dues they won't let me be what I wanna be but they would like to see me succumb into society my life has been filled with ups and downs sometimes I never knew which way to turn [Chorus]
