(feat. 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 



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 



Though I saw it all around 

Never thought that I could be affected 

Thought that we’d be 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 any more 

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 

You still have us 

Don’t give up now 

We’re proud of who you are 

Don’t give up 

You know its never been easy 

Don’t give up 

‘Cause I believe there’s a place 

There’s a place where we belong
