In this proud land we grew up strongnWe were wanted all alongnI was taught to fight, taught to winnI never thought I could failnNo fight left or so it seemsnI am a man whose dreams have all desertednI've changed my facenI've changed my namenBut no one wants you when you losennDon't give upnYou still have friendsnDon't give upnYou're not beaten yetnDon't give upn'Cause I know you can make it goodnnThough I saw it all aroundnNever thought that I would be affectednThought that we'd be last to gonIt is so strange the way things turnednDrove the night towards my homenThe place that I was born, by the lakesidenAs daylight brokenI saw the EarthnThe trees had burned down to the groundnnDon't give upnYou still have usnDon't give upnWe don't need much of anything, nonDon't give upn'Cause somewhere there's a place we belongnnRest your headnYou worry too muchnIt's gonna be all rightnWhen times get roughnYou can fall back on usnDon't give upnPlease, don't give upnnI moved on to another townnTried hard to settle downnFor every job, so many mennSo many men no one needsnnDon't give upn'Cause you have friendsnDon't give upnYou're not the only one, nonDon't give upnThere's no reason to be ashamed, nonDon't give upnWe're proud of who you arenDon't give upn'Cause somewhere there's a place we belong
