Campfire Song

[Verse 1]

Once we had a land and we thought it fair

Look in the atlas and you would find it there

Sleeping at night wrapped up in our beds

Safe from the world so we wouldn't be scared

Maybe we were let off too light in the past

Teachers gave us medals for coming last

But ain't it funny how the bottom kids in class

Always seem to be the ones who have the last laugh

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause we didn't give up, no, we didn't give up

We didn't give up, no no no

We didn't give up, no, we didn't give up

No no no

[Verse 2]

So we grew our hair and sharpened our claws

And soon we saw the writing on the wall

Marched in our thousands against a war

Nobody could give us a straight answer for

Lennon taught us to feel and Guevara to fight

Marley said everything's gonna be alright

But we couldn't look our parents in the eye

Everybody choosing different sides

[Chorus]

Hold on to what's inside

Onto a feeling that you can't deny

Somewhere in your eyes

There is a spirit that will never die

You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try

Onto a feeling that you can't deny

Hold on, yeah you gotta fight

And take it with you till the day you die

[Verse 3]

Twenty years of education and still

No one taught us how to love ourselves until

We danced in the corner of an English field

Then in the morning all of our fates were sealed

Try to fix our broken hearts with drugs

To repair the feeling of never being enough

But how the hell were we to know what the damage does

Losing yourself to someone you love too much

[Chorus]

Hold on to what's inside

Onto a feeling that you can't deny

Somewhere in your eyes

There is a spirit that will never die

Hold on, yeah you gotta try

Onto a feeling that you can't deny

Hold on, yeah you gotta fight

And keep it with you through the lonely nights

[Bridge]

Staring at the ceiling

Or climbing up the walls

Try to find the meaning

The meaning of it all

When that old familiar feeling

Keeps coming 'round to call

It goes on and on and on and on

On and on and on and on

We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up

We'll never give up, no no no

We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up

We'll never give up, no no no

No no no

No no no no no

No no no

No no no no no no

[Chorus]

Hold on to what's inside

Onto a feeling that you can't deny

Somewhere in your eyes

There is a spirit that will never die

You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try

Onto a feeling that you can't deny

So hold on, yeah you gotta fight

And take it with you to the other side

[Outro]

(You gotta hold on)

Take it with you to the other side

Take it with you to the other side

(You gotta hold on)

Take it with you to the other side

Take it with you to the other side

(You gotta hold on)

Take it with you to the other side

Take it with you to the other side
