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 that I could be affected
Thought that we`d be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place where 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 [bad word] 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
