Don't Give Up
In this proud land we grew up strongWe were wanted all alongI was taught to fight, taught to winI never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seemsI am a man whose dreams have all desertedI've changed my face, I've changed my nameBut no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up'Cause you have friendsDon't give upYou're not beaten yetDon't give upI know you can make it good
Though I saw it all aroundNever thought I could be affectedThought that we'd be last to goIt is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my homeThe place that I was born, on the lakesideAs daylight broke, I saw the earthThe trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give upYou still have usDon't give upWe don't need much of anythingDon't give up'Cause somewhere there's a placeWhere we belong
Rest your headYou worry too muchIt's going to be alrightWhen times get roughYou can fall back on usDon't give upPlease don't give up
Got to walk out of hereI can't take anymoreGonna stand on that bridgeKeep my eyes down belowWhatever may comeAnd whatever may goThat river's flowingThat river's flowing
Moved on to another townTried hard to settle downFor every job, so many menSo many men no-one needs
Don't give up'Cause you have friendsDon't give upYou're not the only oneDon't give upNo reason to be ashamed
Don't give upYou still have usDon't give up nowWe're proud of who you areDon't give upYou know it's never been easyDon't give up'Cause I believe there's a placeThere's a place where we belong
