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
,
'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 the a place
, ,
There's a place where we belong
.
