Shannon Noll, Natalie Bassingthwaighte - Don’t Give Up (with Natalie Bassingthwaite) lyrics

(Shannon Noll)
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
(Natalie Bassingthwaite) 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

(Shannon Noll) 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 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

(Natalie Bassingthwaite) 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 going to be alright
When times get rough you can fall back on us
Don't give up please don't give up

(Shannon Noll) '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
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

(Natalie Bassingthwaite) 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's a place
There's a place where we belong
