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 where 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 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 `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 it`s never been easy Don`t give up `Cause I believe there`s a place There`s a place where we belong
