lyrics

Focus
by Graham Wilkinson

VI
When the weather turns grey
And it’s cold too cold to bear
I’m thankful that I got somewhere warm
To lay my head
When my heart hurts and I feel I can’t go on
I’m thankful that I got a heart
that’s still beating strong.

{[chorus]}
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want to lose sight
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want to give up the fight

Verse II
I’m still moving too fast to keep up with everything around me
same story as before the same
images surround me
why do folks keep hating one another
the people keep killing their sisters and brothers oh,mothers and fathers please tell me
what is going on?
how long, how long must we sing this song?

{[chorus]}
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want to lose sight
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want
I don’t ever want to give up the fight
