![]() Tekst en muziek: Peter Gabriel (1986) ![]() 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 Gonna 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 ![]() |
