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 |
