Maire Brennan Don`t Give Up Lyrics

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…]
