Lyrics

[00:42] In this proud land we grew up strong
[00:46] we were wanted all along
[00:50] I was taught to fight, taught to win
[00:54] I never thought I could fail
[01:00] no fight left or so it seems
[01:02] I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
[01:07] I've changed my face, I've changed my name
[01:12] but no one wants you when you lose
[01:19] don't give up
[01:21] 'cos you have friends
[01:27] don't give up
[01:30] you're not beaten yet
[01:36] don't give up
[01:39] I know you can make it good
[01:44] though I saw it all around
[01:47] never thought that I could be affected
[01:52] thought that we'd be last to go
[01:56] it is so strange the way things turn
[02:02] drove the night toward my home
[02:05] the place where I was born, on the lakeside
[02:10] as daylight broke, I saw the earth
[02:14] the trees had burned down to the ground
[02:21] don't give up
[02:24] you still have us
[02:30] don't give up
[02:32] we don't need much of anything
[02:39] don't give up
[02:42] 'cause somewhere there's a place
[02:46] where we belong
[02:50] rest your head
[02:54] you worry too much
[02:59] it's going to be alright
[03:04] when times get rough
[03:08] you can fall back on us
[03:12] don't give up
[03:17] please don't give up
[03:22] 'got to walk out of here
[03:26] I can't take anymore
[03:31] going to stand on that bridge
[03:35] keep my eyes down below
[03:40] whatever may come
[03:44] and whatever may go
[03:48] that river's flowing
[03:52] that river's flowing
[03:58] moved on to another town
[04:01] tried hard to settle down
[04:06] for every job, so many men
[04:10] so many men no-one needs
[04:17] don't give up
[04:20] 'cause you have friends
[04:26] don't give up
[04:29] you're not the only one
[04:35] don't give up
[04:38] no reason to be ashamed
[04:44] don't give up
[04:46] you still have us
[04:53] don't give up now
[04:56] we're proud of who you are
[05:02] don't give up
[05:04] you know it's never been easy
[05:11] don't give up
[05:13] 'cause I believe there's a place
[05:18] there's a place where we belong
