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
´Cos you have fans
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
´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

´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

Don´t give up
´Cause you have fans
Don´t give up
You´re not the only one
Don´t give up
You still have us
Don´t give up now
We´re proud of who you are
Don´t give up
´Cause I believe there´s the a place
There´s a place where we belong
