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

Cause 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

Cuz you have friends

Don't give up

You're not beaten yet

Don't give up

I know you can make it good

Rest your head

You worry too much

It's gonna 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

And 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 beaten yet

Don't give up

Cuz you have friends

Don't give up

You're not beaten yet

Don't give up

I know you can make it good
