Don’t Give Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Moya Brennan] 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 someone whose dreams Have all deserted I've changed my face I've changed my name But no one wants you When you lose [Chorus: Michael McDonald] Don't give up You still have me Don't give up You're not beaten yet Don't give up I know you can make it [Verse 2: Moya Brennan] Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be the last to go It is so strange the way things turn Drove the night Towards 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: Michael McDonald] Don't give up You still have me Don't give up You won't need much of anything Don't give up 'Cause I know there's a place Where you belong [Verse 3: Michael McDonald] Rest your head You worry too much It's gonna be all right When times get rough You can fall back on me Don't give up Please, don't give up [Chorus: Moya Brennan] Got to walk Out of here I can't take Anymore Gonna stand On that bridge Keep my eyes Down below Whatever may come And whatever may go Let rivers flow Let rivers flow [Verse 4: Moya Brennan] Moved on to Another town Tried hard To settle down For every job So many men So many men No one needs [Chorus: Michael McDonald] Don't give up 'Cause you have me Don't give up You're not the only one Don't give up No reason to be ashamed Don't give up You know you still have me Don't give up I'm proud of who you are Don't give up You know it's never been easy Don't give up 'Cause I know there's a place A place where you belong [Outro: Moya Brennan] Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up ([Michael McDonald:] Don't give up) Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up ([Michael McDonald:] Don't give up) Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up ([Michael McDonald:] You can stay) ([Michael McDonald:] You can stay) Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up ([Michael McDonald:] You belong to me) Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up ([Michael McDonald:] You belong to me) Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up ([Michael McDonald:] Don't give up) ([Michael McDonald:] Don't give up) Don't give up Don't give up Don't give up
