| 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 Iīve changed my face, Iīve changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Donīt give up īcos you have friends Donīt give up Youīre not beaten yet Donīt give up I know you can make it good Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that weīd be 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 Donīt give up You still have us Donīt give up We donīt need much of anything Donīt give up īcause somewhere thereīs a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much Itīs going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Donīt give up Please donīt give up Got to walk out of here I canīt take any more Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That riverīs flowing That riverīs flowing Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs Donīt give up īcause you have friends Donīt give up Youīre not the only one Donīt give up No reason to be ashamed Donīt give up You still have us Donīt give up now Weīre proud of who you are Donīt give up You know its never been easy Donīt give up īcause I believe thereīs a place Thereīs a place where we belong. |
