An anti suicide song. Written after watching a documentary on Kate Bush. Elton John claimed that the song "Don't Give Up" Kate did with Peter Gabriel saved his life.

lyrics

Don't give up on your life
Don't step back from the fight
Hold your head up high
Look life right in the eye

I heard a record by you
It told me what to do
It put me right
I heard a record by you
It told me what to do
Stay alive
Stay alive

Don't accept that you're done
Don't believe that they've won
'Cause your day will surely come
And You'll rise like the sun

I heard a record by you ......

When the day's so dark that you're stuck in bed
And thoughts of death never leave your head
You can't see the light for the tunnel ahead
Stay alive
When anxiety puts your head in a spin
And darkness looms like fog rolling in
The only way out is to cut your skin
Stay alive
When your mind is screaming and you just can't breathe
There's blood on your hands dripping from your sleeves
A razor blade gleams but you can't find relief
Stay alive
Now your blood is pooling it's all over the bed
You know you should fight but you ain't got the strength
You wonder how the hell you got into this mess
Stay alive
Stay alive
Don't give up
