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'm 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, you still have friends.Don't give up, you're not beaten yet.Don't give up, cause I know I can make it good.Though I saw it all around, Never thought that I would be affected.Thought that we'd be lost to go, It is so strange the way things turn.Drove the night to watch my home, The place that I was born by 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, no.Don't give up, cause somewhere there's a place we belong.Rest your head, you worry too much.It's gonna be alright.When times get rough, you can fall back on us.Don't give up, please don't give up.I 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, no.Don't give up, there's no reason to be ashamed, no.Don't give up, we're proud of who you are.Don't give up, cause somewhere there's a place we belong.
