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 Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name But no one wants you when you lose
Dont give up cos you have friends Dont give up Youre not beaten yet Dont give up I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around Never thought I could be affected Thought that wed 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
Dont give up You still have us Dont give up We dont need much of anything Dont give up cause somewhere theres a place Where we belong
Rest your head You worry too much Its going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Dont give up Please dont give up
got to walk out of here I cant take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That rivers flowing That rivers flowing
Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no-one needs
Dont give up cause you have friends Dont give up Youre not the only one Dont give up No reason to be ashamed Dont give up You still have us Dont give up now Were proud of who you are Dont give up You know its never been easy Dont give up cause I believe theres the a place Theres a place where we belong
