Don`t Give Up — текст песни (Peter Gabriel)

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
never thought I could be affected
thought that we`d 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
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
where we belong

rest your head
you 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

`got to walk out of here
I can`t take anymore
going to 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 the a place
there`s a place where we belong
