Don`t Give Up — текст песни (Sinead Oconnor)

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

Drove the night toward my home
The place that i was born, on the lakeside
And as daylight broke, i saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

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
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
`Cause i believe there`s a place
There`s a place where we belong
