Don't Give Up

In this proud land we grew up strong We were wanted all along I was taught to fight and taught to win I never thought I could fail No fight left or so it seems But now my dreams have all forgotten I've changed my face and changed my name But no one wants you when you lose But don't give up 'cause you have friends Don't give up you're not beaten yet Don't give up 'cause I know you can make it good yeah Though I saw it all around Never thought that I would be affected Thought that we'd be last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night to my home The place that I was born by the lakeside As daylight broke I saw the earth And the trees had burned down to the ground But don't give up you still have us Don't give up you know we don't need much of anything Don't give up because somewhere there's a place where we belong Rest your head Don't worry too much It's going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Do don't give up Please don't give up I'm gonna walk out of here 'Cause I can't take anymore I'm gonna stand on that bridge and Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That river it is flowing That river's flowing Moved on to another town I tried hard to settle down But for every job so many men So many men that no one needs But don't give up you have friends Don't give up I know it's never been easy Don't give up because somewhere there's a place There's a place where we belong Rest your head Don't 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
