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 knew 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 You still have friends Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up Cos 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 turned Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, by the lakeside When 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 Cos somewhere there's a place we belong 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 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 Cos you have friends Don't give up You're not the only one, no Don't give up There's no reason to be ashamed Don't give up We're proud of who you are Don't give up Cos somewhere there's a place we belong
