In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight
I was 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
Tried to change my face
And changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends (I got hold on)
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
'Cause I know you can make it
(If don't give up)
(Don't give up)
Though I saw it all around
I never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn (strange)
Drove the night toward my home
Thought the place that I was born, by the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up
'Cause I know you can make it
(If don't give up)
Rest your head
You worry too much (Don't worry about nothing)
It's going to be alright (Sure it's gonna be alright)
When times get rough (When them get rough)
You can fall back on us (You can fall)
Don't give up (I won't give up)
Don't give up
Please don't give up (I won't give up)
Don't give up (I don't wanna give up)
'Cause you have friends
(Cause I know I have a friend)
(Yes you do)
Don't give up
(I won't give up)
You're not beaten yet
Don't give up (I wanna give up)
'Cause I know you can make it
(We can know make it)
Don't give up... (Fades out)
