Fickle Friday: Don't Give Up

LISTEN TO THE SONG

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


Because you have friends


Don't give up


You're not beaten yet


Don't 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


Don't give up


You still have us


Don't give up


We don't need much of anything


Don't give up


Because somewhere there's a place


Where we belong


Rest your head


You worry too much


It's going to be alright


When times get rough


You can fall back on us


Don't give up


Please don't give up


I've got to walk out of here


I can't take anymore


Going to stand on that bridge


Keep my eyes down below


Whatever may come


And whatever may go


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


Because 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


Because I believe there's a place


There's a place where we belong
