Lyrics

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 I never thought that I could be affected I thought that we would 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 And 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 There's a place where we belong Got to walk out of here, I can't take anymore I'm 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 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 a place There's a place where we belong
