Don't Give Up

[Verse 1: Molly Jenson] 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 [Chorus: Greg Laswell] 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 [Verse 2: Molly Jenson] 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 that I was born on the lakeside As daylight broke I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground [Chorus: Greg Laswell] Don't give up, you still have us Don't give up, we don't need much of anything And don't give up 'cause somewhere there's a place where we belong [Bridge: Molly Jenson, Greg Laswell] 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 I've got to walk out of here, I can't take any more I'm gonna stand on that bridge and keep my eyes down below Oh but, whatever may come and whatever may go That river's flowing, oh, that river's flowing, no [Verse 3: Molly Jenson] Moved onto another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no one needs [Chorus: Greg Laswell, Molly Jenson and Greg Laswell] Don't give up, you have friends And don't give up, I'm proud of who you are Don't give up, never leave, there's a place where we belong
