DON’T GIVE UP |
Original theme & lyrics: Peter Gabriel |
Originally performed by: Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush |
verse one: |
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. |
verse two: |
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… |
chorus:(Sarah Brightman) |
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. |
verse three: |
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. |
verse four: |
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. |
chorus:(Sarah Brightman) |
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… |
verse five:(Sarah Brightman) |
Rest your head |
you worry too much |
it’s gonna be alright, |
When times get rough |
you can fall back on us |
Don’t give up |
please don’t give up… |
verse six: |
Got to walk out of here |
I can’t take it anymore |
Gonna stand on that bridge |
keep my eyes down below. |
Whatever may come |
and whatever may go |
that river’s flow |
that river’s flow… |
verse seven: |
Moved on to another town |
tried hard to settle down |
For every job, so many men |
so many men no-one needs. |
chorus:(Sarah Brightman) |
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 — but believe there’s a place |
a place where we belong… |
