You'd probably give up too If nobody believed in you That old man said: One more try I know I'm not too old to try I promise, son, I'll do my best This time, I'm gonna pass the test Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in His father never drove again That old man quit tryin' He just turned away An' there were teardrops on his face Tell me, how would you feel? You'd probably give up too If nobody believed in you We take His name out of schools The lawyers say it breaks the rules Pledge of allegiance can't be writ An' under God, should not be said I wonder how He will take I just pray it's not too late What if God quit tryin' He just turned away? There were teardrops on his face? Tell me, how would you feel? You'd probably give up too If nobody believed in you Tell me, how would you feel? You'd probably give up too If nobody believed in you
