Don`t Give Up

Xavier Naidoo - Don`t give up

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 desert
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 con make it good

Though I saw it all around, never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we`d be lost 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 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 it`s never been easy
Don`t give up - `cause I believe there`s a place
There`s a place where we belong!
