Dont Give Up lyrics

"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.
