[Greg Laswell, Molly Jenson - Don’t Give Up 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 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 can make it good
Though 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 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
And 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
I've got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
I'm gonna stand on that bridge and
Keep my eyes down below
Oh but, whatever may come and whatever may go
That river's flowing, oh
That river's flowing, no
Moved onto another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no one needs
Don't give up, you have friends
And don't give up, I'm proud of who you are
Don't give up, never leave
There's a place where we belong
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 can make it good
Though 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 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
And 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
I've got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
I'm gonna stand on that bridge and
Keep my eyes down below
Oh but, whatever may come and whatever may go
That river's flowing, oh
That river's flowing, no
Moved onto another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no one needs
Don't give up, you have friends
And don't give up, I'm proud of who you are
Don't give up, never leave
There's a place where we belong
