 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
 cos you have friends
 Dont give up
 Youre 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 wed 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 dont 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 dont 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
 
 Dont give up
 cause you have friends
 Dont give up
 Youre not the only one
 Dont give up
 No reason to be ashamed
 Dont give up
 You still have us
 Dont give up now
 Were proud of who you are
 Dont give up
 You know its never been easy
 Dont give up
 cause I believe theres the a place
 Theres a place where we belong
