Trade winds keep on blowing   My life keeps on going   Jah 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 which way to turn      When the going gets rough, the tough gets going   'Cause I never give up my pride   Even though I'm broken up inside   I never give up my pride   Even though they try to push me aside   I never give up my pride      Don't you remember when?   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      When the going gets rough, the tough gets going   'Cause I never give up my pride   Even though I'm broken up inside   I never give up my pride   Though at times my world may seem to capsize   I 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 down inside   I never give up my pride   Though my world may seem sometimes to capsize   I 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 succumbing to society   My life has been filled with ups and downs   Sometimes I never knew which way to turn      When the going gets rough, the tough gets going   'Cause I never give up my pride   Even though I'm broken up inside   I never give up my pride   Even though sometimes my world capsize   Never give up my pride
