We can still make it We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up
We can still make it  We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up

It may seem like god or Buddha aren’t there
There are plenty of bad things in your life, but
Those demons, for every one of us,
Are merely illusions of our own making


We can still make it We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up
We can still make it  We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up

We can still make it We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up
We can still make it  We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up

Say goodbye to days when you struggled
And recover the dreams which you have lost

Certainly, in every one of us
Is the means to reach them in the end


We can still make it  We can still make it
It’s only over when you give up
We can still make it  We can still make it   
It’s only over when you give up

Oh Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah Yeah 
It’s only over when you give up
Oh Yeah Yeah Oh Yeah Yeah  
It’s only over when you give up

Oh! Yeah!
We can still make it
