Don't Give Up Lyrics

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 someone 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

 'cause you have me

 don't give up

 you're not beaten yet

 don't give up

 I know you can make it

 

 though I saw it all around

 never thought that 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 me

 don't give up

 you won't need much of anything

 don't give up

 'cause I know there's a place

 where you belong

 

 Rest your head

 You worry too much

 It's going to be alright

 When times get rough

 You can fall back on me

 Don't give up

 Please don't give up

 

 Got to walk out of here

 I can't take any more

 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 me

 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 me

 don't give up

 

 I'm proud of who you are

 don't give up

 you know it's never been easy

 don't give up

 'cause I know there's a place

 a place where you belong

 

 [don't give up…]
