Peter Gabriel - Don’t Give Up lyrics

Man:

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.

Sarah:

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.

Man:

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

Sarah:

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.

Man:

Got to walk out of here

I can't take any more

Gonna to stand on that bridge

Keep my eyes down below

Whatever may come

And whatever may go

That river's flowing (2x).

Moved on to another town

Tried hard to settle down

For every job, so many men

So many men no-one needs.

Sarah:

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 its never been easy

Don't give up

'Cause I believe there's a place

There's a place where we belong.
