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
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
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we`d be the 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
Don`t give up
You still 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
`got to walk out of here
I can`t take anymore
Going to 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
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 be 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 there`s the a place
There`s a place where we belong
