dont_give_up.mp3 In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught
, taught
I never thought I could
No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose
have all deserted
I've changed my face, I've changed my name
But no one wants you when you
Don't give up
'cos you have
Don't give up
You're not
yet
Don't give up
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be
Thought that we'd be the last to go
It is so strange the way things
.
Drove the
toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As
broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground
Don't give up
You
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
Rest your head
You
too much
It's going to be alright
When
get rough
You can fall back on us
Don't give up
Please don't give up
'got to
out of here
I can't take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
may come
And whatever may go
That river's
That river's flowing
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs
Don't give up
'cause you have
Don't give up
You're not the only one
Don't give up
No reason to be
Don't give up
You still have us
Don't give up now
We're
of who you are
Don't give up
You know it's never been easy
Don't give up
'cause I
there's the a place
There's a place where we belong
"Don't Give Up" is a duet recorded by Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush. It describes the despair of a man who feels that the economic system has no place for him, and the support and wise counsel sung in the refrain by Bush.
