Never Surrender
Corey Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause just a little more time could open closing doors
Just a little uncertainty can bring you down
And nobody wants to know you now
And nobody wants to show you how
So if you're lost and on your own
You can never surrender
You can never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see you can see light
'Cause no one can take away your right
To fight and to never surrender
With a little perseverance you can get things done
Without a blind adherence that has conquered some
And no body wants to know you know
And nobody wants to show you how
So if your lost and on your own
You can never surrender
And if you're path won't lead you home
You can never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see you can see light
'Cause no one can take away your right
To fight and to never surrender
And when the night is cold and dark
You can see you can see light
No one can take away your right
To fight and to never surrender
To never surrender
Oh, time is all we're asking for
To never surrender
Oh, you can never surrender
Time is all we're asking for
Corey Hart's song "Never Surrender" is about persevering through difficult times and never giving up, even when everything around you seems hopeless. The song speaks to the importance of having the courage and determination to face adversity, and to keep fighting despite the odds.
The lyrics express the idea that a little uncertainty and doubt can be all it takes to bring someone down, but that with a little more time and perseverance, things can turn around. The song encourages the listener to keep pushing forward, even when others have given up on them.
The line, "And nobody wants to know you now, And nobody wants to show you how" speaks to the feeling of isolation and loneliness that can come with struggling through challenges, but the song reminds us that we still have the power to fight and to never surrender.
Overall, the song is a powerful anthem of hope and encouragement, urging us to keep going and to never give up on our dreams, no matter how difficult the journey may be.
Line by Line Meaning
Just a little more time is all we're asking for
All we request is a brief extension of time, because that could change everything
'Cause just a little more time could open closing doors
This time extension can turn around uncertain situations
Just a little uncertainty can bring you down
A hint of doubt can make you feel overwhelmed and hopeless
And nobody wants to know you now
When you are faltering, people tend to stay away, leaving you alone
And nobody wants to show you how
People also tend to withhold guidance or support when you are struggling
So if you're lost and on your own
If you feel aimless and isolated
You can never surrender
You must not give up or yield
And if your path won't lead you home
If your course does not bring you to where you can belong
You can never surrender
Still, you must persevere and withstand anything that comes on your way
And when the night is cold and dark
During difficult and harsh times
You can see you can see light
Hope and opportunity still exist, giving you the strength to carry on
'Cause no one can take away your right
Nobody has the authority to forbid you from something rightfully yours
To fight and to never surrender
To keep battling the odds and not lose hope
With a little perseverance you can get things done
Determination and perseverance can help you achieve your goals
Without a blind adherence that has conquered some
Although blind obedience has triumphed over some, it is not the best course of action
And nobody wants to know you know
When you're struggling, people will likely ignore you or refuse to acknowledge your presence
And nobody wants to show you how
Likewise, few will willingly guide or help you when you're facing obstacles
Oh, time is all we're asking for
All that we need is just enough time to get back on our feet
To never surrender
And most importantly, keep fighting to keep hope alive
Oh, you can never surrender
Do not give up, ever
Time is all we're asking for
Asking for time to mend and heal

Do Not like THAT TERM:
"ONE HIT WONDERS"
Prefer the Term RARE GEMS...
Artists are not just about their Bigger or Most Popular Songs, as they're often addressing sensitive issues and each message will be appreciated differently by their respective audience.
COREY HART has had several Top Big Hits, like "Sunglasses At Night", which topped BILLBOARD for Months...

1986 i was beaten really bad by my stepfather. i packed a gym bag, and with 98 cents in my pocket, i ran away from home at the age of 16. and hitchhiked from Michigan to California to start a new life. i can still remember thumbing on the highway while singing this song to myself. this song got me through some really hard times when i was a kid.

My grandfather did the same - ran away from his abusive parents. He lived a decent life. Anything for peace.

I'm almost 50 years old and struggling through opioid withdrawal, trying to come clean and by the grace of God I will never surrender and overcome.
@jsgirl713
Been there. Tried so many times on my own to quit. Withdrawing is pure hell. Needed physical and emotional relief so bad I would start again. Vicious cycle. Due to mental illness I have had since a teen I had to be hospitalized(opioids contributed to mental instability but hospitalized multiple times before w/o opioid addiction). While there I got for treatment for addiction. I realize not everyone has access and means for professional help. If you do take advantage of it. My boyfriend quit on his own. I didn’t have what it takes. All that to say “never surrender”. Wishing you the best. I know the pain you are experiencing.
@jsgirl713
Addiction does not care about age. Knowing I am 52yo means I can relate to you even more.

You came in this world without it you don't need it. Self control discipline all you need. You got this if you want it.
