Don't Give Up |
| In this proud land we grew up strong |
| We were wanted all along |
| I was taught to fight, taught to win |
| I never thought I could fail |
| No fight left or so it seems |
| I am a man whose dreams have all deserted |
| I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name |
| But no one wants you when you lose |
| Don’t give up |
| 'Cause you have friends |
| Don’t give up |
| You’re not beaten yet |
| Don’t give up |
| I know you can make it good |
| Though I saw it all around |
| Never thought I could be affected |
| Thought that we’d be the last to go |
| It is so strange the way things turn |
| Drove the night toward my home |
| The place that I was born, on the lakeside |
| As daylight broke, I saw the earth |
| The trees had burned down to the ground |
| Don’t give up |
| You still have us |
| Don’t give up |
| We don’t need much of anything |
| Don’t give up |
| 'Cause somewhere there’s a place |
| Where we belong |
| Rest your head |
| You worry too much |
| It’s going to be alright |
| When times get rough |
| You can fall back on us |
| Don’t give up |
| Please don’t give up |
| Got to walk out of here |
| I can’t take anymore |
| Going to stand on that bridge |
| Keep my eyes down below |
| Whatever may come |
| And whatever may go |
| That river’s flowing |
| That river’s flowing |
| Moved on to another town |
| Tried hard to settle down |
| For every job, so many men |
| So many men no-one needs |
| Don’t give up |
| 'Cause you have friends |
| Don’t give up |
| You’re not the only one |
| Don’t give up |
| No reason to be ashamed |
| Don’t give up |
| You still have us |
| Don’t give up now |
| We’re proud of who you are |
| Don’t give up |
| You know it’s never been easy |
| Don’t give up |
| 'Cause I believe there’s a place |
| There’s a place where we belong |
