[Moya Brennan, Michael McDonald - 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 someone 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 you still have me
Don't give up you're not beaten yet
Don't give up i know you can make it
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night towards 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 me
Don't give up
You won't need much of anything
Don't give up 'Cause I know there's a place
Where you belong
Rest your head you worry too much
It's gonna be all right when times get rough
You can fall back on me don't give up
Please, don't give up
Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come and whatever may go
Let rivers flow let rivers flow
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 me
Don't give up you're not the only one
Don't give up no reason to be ashamed
Don't give up you know you still have me
Don't give up i'm proud of who you are
Don't give up you know it's never been easy
Don't give up 'Cause I know there's a place
A place where you 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 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
Don't give up
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 someone 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 you still have me
Don't give up you're not beaten yet
Don't give up i know you can make it
Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night towards 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 me
Don't give up
You won't need much of anything
Don't give up 'Cause I know there's a place
Where you belong
Rest your head you worry too much
It's gonna be all right when times get rough
You can fall back on me don't give up
Please, don't give up

Don't give up you know you still have me
Don't give up i'm proud of who you are
Don't give up you know it's never been easy
Don't give up 'Cause I know there's a place
