(Chants)

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were w-anted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never th-ought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am someone whose dreams have all des-erted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don't give u-p
'Cause you h-ave Me
Don't give u-p
You're not beaten yet
Don't give u-p
I know you can make i-t

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I could be affected
Thought that w-e'd be 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 l-akeside
As daylight broke, I saw the Earth
The trees had burned down to the gr-ound

Don't give u-p
You still h-ave Me
Don't give up
You won't need much, of anything
Don't give u-p
'Cause I-I know there's a place, where you bel-ong

Rest your h-ead
Y-ou worry too much
It's gonna be a-lright
When t-imes get rough
You can fall b-ack on Me
Don't g-ive u-p
Pl-ease don't give up

Got to w-alk, out of here
I can't t-ake, anymore
Gonna st-and on that bridge
Keep my e-yes down below
Whate-ver may come
And whate-ver may go
That river's fl-owing
That river's fl-owing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard, to settle down
For every Job, so many men
So many men no one n-eeds

Don't give u-p
'Cause you h-ave Me
Don't give u-p
You're not the o-nly one
Don't give u-p
No reason, to be ashamed
Don't g-ive u-p
You know you still have Me
Don't g-ive up
I'm proud of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's, never been e-asy
D-on't give up
'Cause I-I know there's a place
A place where you belong
