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
