Xavier Naidoo - Don't Give Up lyrics

rate me

In this proud land we grew up strong<br />

We were wanted all along<br />

I was taught to fight<br />

Taught to win<br />

I never thought I could fail<br />

No fight left or so it seems<br />

I am a man whose dreams have all deserted<br />

I've changed my face<br />

I've changed my name<br />

But no one wants you when you lose<br />

Don't give up<br />

'Cause you have friends<br />

Don't give up<br />

You're not beaten yet<br />

Don't give up<br />

I know you can make it good<br />

Though I saw it all around<br />

Never thought that I could be affected<br />

Thought that we'd be the last to go<br />

It is so strange the way things turn<br />

Drove the night toward my home<br />

The place that I was born, on the lakeside<br />

As daylight broke, I saw the earth<br />

The trees had burned down to the ground<br />

Don't give up<br />

You still have us<br />

Don't give up<br />

We don't need much of anything<br />

Don't give up<br />

'Cause somewhere there's a place where we belong<br />

Rest your head<br />

You worry too much<br />

It's going to be alright<br />

When times get rough<br />

You can fall back on us<br />

Don't give up<br />

Please don't give up<br />

Got to walk out of here<br />

I can't take anymore<br />

Going to stand on that bridge<br />

Keep my eyes down below<br />

Whatever may come<br />

And whatever may go<br />

That river's flowing<br />

That river's flowing<br />

Moved on to another town<br />

Tried hard to settle down<br />

For every job, so many men<br />

So many men no-one needs<br />

Don't give up<br />

'Cause you have friends<br />

Don't give up<br />

You're not the only one<br />

Don't give up<br />

No reason to be ashamed<br />

Don't give up<br />

You still have us<br />

Don't give up now<br />

We're proud of who you are<br />

Don't g
