Kate Bush & Peter Gabriel - Don't Give Up lyrics

Your rating:

Man: 
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.

Sarah: 
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.

Man: 
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

Sarah: 
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.

Man: 
Got to walk out of here
I can't take any more
Gonna to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing (2x).

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs.

Sarah: 
Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be ashamed
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.
