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



Don't give up 'cos you have friends

Don't give up you're not beaten yet

Don't give up

I know you can make it good



Though i saw it all around

I never thought that i could be affected

I thought that we would be the last to go

It is so strange the way things turn



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

There's a place where we belong



'got to walk out of here

I can't take anymore

I'm gonna stand on that bridge

Keep my eyes down below

Whatever may come

And whatever may go

That river's flowing

That river's flowing



Moved on to another town

Tried hard to settle down

For every job, so many men

So many men no-one needs



Don't give up 'cause you have friends

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

'cause i believe there's a place

There's a place where we belong
