Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 feel
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
I thought that we'd be 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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Rest your head, you worry too much
(Oh, yeah)
It's gonna be alright
When times get rough you can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please, don't give up
(Oh, yeah)
Gotta walk out of here, I can't take any more
Gonna stand on that bridge and keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come and whatever may go
That river's flowing, ooh, that river's flowing
[Verse 6]
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
We're proud of who you are
Don't give up
'Cause I believe there's a place
There's a place where we belong
