Don't Give Up (Live)

[ANTHONY RAPP, spoken] Thank you. So, uh, growing up, uh, I was born 71, 'bout to turn 4-- I'll be 45 in a couple weeks, very soon. Yeah, yeah, yeah, so, uh, so if I say I was a child of the '80s in many ways, so lot of those artists that were, that were making great music then have been a huge influence and the album *So* by Peter Gabriel is one of my all-time, like, desert island discs of all time. So, uh, I want to do a song, uh, in tribute to one of my heroes, Peter Gabriel. [ANTHONY, sung] 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 [ENGLISH BERNHARDT] Don't give up, because you have friends Don't give up, you're not beaten yet Don't give up, I know you can make it good [ANTHONY] 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 towards my home The place that I was born, on a lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground [ENGLISH] Don't give up, 'cause you 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 [ANTHONY] Got to walk out of here, I can't take any more Gonna 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 [ENGLISH] 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 feel 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 that there's a place There's a place where we belong [ANTHONY, spoken] English Bernhardt, ladies and gentlemen, English Bernhardt, come on. Thank you.
