|
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 |
|
'cos 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 |
