Don T Give Up lyrics

PLAY GREGORIAN Don T Give Up video Original theme & lyrics: Peter Gabriel
Originally performed by: Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush

verse one:
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.

verse two:
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...

chorus: (Sarah Brightman)
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.

verse three:
Though I saw it all around
never thought I could be affected.
Thought that we`d be the last to go
it is so strange the way things turn.

verse four:
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.

chorus: (Sarah Brightman)
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...

verse five: (Sarah Brightman)
Rest your head
you worry too much
it`s gonna be alright,
When times get rough
you can fall back on us
Don`t give up
please don`t give up...

verse six:
Got to walk out of here
I can`t take it anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
keep my eyes down below.
Whatever may come
and whatever may go
that river`s flow
that river`s flow...

verse seven:
Moved on to another town
tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
so many men no-one needs.

chorus: (Sarah Brightman)
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 - but believe there`s a place
a place where we belong
