Dont Give Up

"Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel with KaTe Bush 

      

    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 that I could be affected 

    Thought that we'd 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 

     

                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 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 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 its never been easy 

                Don't give up 

                'cause I believe there's a place  

                There's a place where we belong
