Song Description
while volunteering music as therapy for the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resourse Foundation ( www.gloriagemma.com ) I was asked to write a song that could be used to help promote their 4th Annual Gloria Gemma 5K, Oct 7, 2012.
Won't Ever Quit is the result of that request.
An exciting part of this recording was the chorus of voices that joined me in the studio. The chorus was made of up breast cancer/cancer survivors, friends, family & students. Their voices completed the song.
I knew I had accomplished my goal when the tears were flowing while recording and several survivors where touched that I had expressed their feelings & experience.

Lyrics
Won't Ever Quit
©Joanne Lurgio, BMI
V1
There are days I don't feel certain; the ground isn't firm 'neath my feet
I fear what I hear in the darkness; I pray for a moment of peace
But,I won't give in without a fight
Take my hand, hold on tight
We'll put one foot in front of the other
Take one step at a time
Chorus
For our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our lovers
For those we will never forget
In the light of this love I don't walk alone
And for this, I won't ever quit
V2
With the love of my friends and my family; there's courage that fills me within
I found strength in the kindness of strangers; who shine hope as each new day begins
Now,I won't give in without a fight
Take my hand, hold on tight
We'll put one foot in front of the other
Take one step at a time
Chorus
For our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our lovers
For those we will never forget
In the light of this love I don't walk alone
And for this, I won't ever quit
For our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our lovers
For those we will never forget
In the light of this love I don't walk alone
And for this, I won't ever quit
For our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our lovers
For those we will never forget
In the light of this love I don't walk alone
And for this, I won't ever quit
For our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our lovers
For those we will never forget
In the light of this love I don't walk alone
And for this, I won't ever quit
In the light of this love we don't walk alone
And for this, we won't.... no, we won't, ever quit
