Don't Give Up

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 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 - 'cos 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 - 'cos 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 - 'cos I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up
