0:16In this proud land we grew up strong
0:20We were wanted all along
0:24I was taught to fight taught to win
0:28I never thought I could fail
0:34No fight left or so it seems
0:37I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
0:42I've changed my face I've changed my name
0:46But no one wants you when you lose
0:53Don't give up
0:56'Cos you have friends
1:02Don't give up
1:04You're not beaten yet
1:11Don't give up
1:14I know you can make it good
1:19Though I saw it all around
1:22Never thought I could be affected
1:27Thought that we'd be the last to go
1:31It is so strange the way things turn
1:36Drove the night toward my home
1:39The place that I was born on the lakeside
1:44As daylight broke I saw the earth
1:49The trees had burned down to the ground
1:56Don't give up
1:58You still have us
2:04Don't give up
2:07We don't need much of anything
2:13Don't give up
2:16'Cause somewhere there's a place
2:20Where we belong
2:25Rest your head
2:28You worry too much
2:33It's going to be alright
2:38When times get rough
2:42You can fall back on us
2:47Don't give up
2:50Please don't give up
2:56'Got to walk out of here
3:00I can't take anymore
3:05Going to stand on that bridge
3:09Keep my eyes down below
3:14Whatever may come
3:18And whatever may go
3:22That river's flowing
3:26That river's flowing
3:32Moved on to another town
3:35Tried hard to settle down
3:40For every job so many men
3:44So many men no-one needs
3:51Don't give up
3:54'Cause you have friends
4:00Don't give up
4:03You're not the only one
4:09Don't give up
4:12No reason to be ashamed
4:18Don't give up
4:20You still have us
4:27Don't give up now
4:30We're proud of who you are
4:36Don't give up
4:38You know it's never been easy
4:45Don't give up
4:47'Cause I believe there's a place
4:52There's a place where we belong
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 a place There's a place where we belong
