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 'Cause 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 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
