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 who's 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
Thou 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 to ward 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 gonna 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 any more !
Gonna 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 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 is a place
There is a place
Where we belong...
...
