(feat. Natalie Bassingthwaighte)
[Shannon]

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

Ive changed my face, Ive changed my name

But no one wants you when you lose



[Natalie]

Dont give up

cos you have friends

Dont give up

Youre not beaten yet

Dont give up

I know you can make it good



[Shannon]

Though I saw it all around

Never thought I could be affected

Thought that wed 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



[Natalie]

Dont give up

You still have us

Dont give up

We dont need much of anything

Dont give up

cause somewhere theres a place

Where we belong



Rest your head

You worry too much

Its going to be alright

When times get rough

You can fall back on us

Dont give up

Please dont give up



[Shannon]

got to walk out of here

I cant take anymore

Going to stand on that bridge

Keep my eyes down below

Whatever may come

And whatever may go

That rivers flowing

That rivers flowing



Moved on to another town

Tried hard to settle down

For every job, so many men

So many men no-one needs

 

[Natalie]

Dont give up

You still have us

Dont give up now

Were proud of who you are

Dont give up

You know its never been easy

Dont give up

cause I believe theres the a place

Theres a place where we belong
