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
Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
I know you'll
You can make it go
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be lost to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born
By the lakeside
As daylight falls
Time 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 gonna be alright
When times get rough
You can't fall back on your own


Don't give up
Please don't give up
And to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
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
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up

Don't give up
Don't give up! Don't give up! Don't give up!
Don't give up! For my love has happened
Don't give up! Don't give up! Don't give up!
Don't give up! Don't give up! Don't give up!
Don't give up
