| 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 |
| 'cos 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 |
