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
