Al's Waiter's note: Michael W. Smith is my *favourite* music artist (you'll notice that if you visit my Sanctuary's Song Archive I changed the spelling from Andrea to AndrAIa and added the little 'wall' in square brackets, cause that's what I always think of when I hear the song. This decribes Andy so well!

Don't Give Up
music by Michael W. Smith and Brent Bourgeois

I remember when you took a stand
With the pearl of wisedom in your hand
And the soul of desire
You held your own against the world
A lions heart inside such a little girl
So unafraid of the fire [wall]
But those days don't last
Sweet dreams die fast
A stumble when you walk on the wire
When all your friends
Start caving (giving) in
The flames are burning higher and higher

Chorus:
Don't give up AndrAIa
Got the whole world at your feet
Just keep on - holding on
This is where you need to be

All the days that you've been spending
Spinning while your heart's descending
Like a stone in the ocean
Sometimes when you think the world is ending
It's really just a new beginning
The other side of emotion
But I've seen your eyes
There's no compromise
When you set your mind on the matter
Be strong through the tears
And your sight will clear
You're gonna get what you're after

(Bridge)
Don't be surprised when the road divides
(Just) take the one less traveled by
