Jacqui Naylor - Don't Give Up Lyrics

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight and taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
But now my dreams have all forgotten
I've changed my face and changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

But don't give up 'cause you have friends
Don't give up you're not beaten yet
Don't give up 'cause I know you can make it good yeah

Though I saw it all around
Never thought that I would be affected
Thought that we'd be last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night to my home
The place that I was born by the lakeside
As daylight broke I saw the earth
And the trees had burned down to the ground

But don't give up you still have us
Don't give up you know we don't need much of anything
Don't give up because somewhere there's a place where we belong

Rest your head
Don't worry too much
It's going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Do don't give up
Please don't give up

I'm gonna walk out of here
'Cause I can't take anymore
I'm gonna stand on that bridge and
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river it is flowing
That river's flowing

Moved on to another town
I tried hard to settle down
But for every job so many men
So many men that no one needs

But don't give up you have friends
Don't give up I know it's never been easy
Don't give up because somewhere there's a place
There's a place where we belong

Rest your head
Don't 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
