Don't Give Up (with Peter Gabriel) Lyrics

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 who´s 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 can make it good



Thou I saw it all around

Never thought that I could be affected

Thought that we'd be last to go

It is so strange the way things turn



Drove the night to ward 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



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 fall back on us

Don't give up

Please - don't give up



...got to walk out of here...

I can't take any more !

Gonna stand on that bridge

Keep my eyes down below



Whatever may come

and whatever may go

- That river's flowing

...that river's flowing...



Moved 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 is a place

There is a place

Where we belong...
