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 Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name But no one wants you when you lose Dont give up 'Cause you have friends Dont give up You're not beaten yet Dont 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 Dont give up You still have us Dont give up We don't need much of anything Dont give up 'Cause somewhere theres a place Where we belong Rest your head You worry too much Its going to be alright When times get rough You can fall back on us Dont give up Please don't give up Got to walk out of here I cant take anymore Going to stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Whatever may come And whatever may go That rivers flowing That rivers 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 You still have us Don't give up now We're proud of who you are Don't give up You know its never been easy Don't give up 'Cause I believe there is a place Where we belong
