Willie Nelson with Sinead O´connor Don't Give Up Lyrics

[ with Sinead O'Connor ]
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 cause you have friends don't give up you're not beaten yetDon't give up I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around I never thought that I could be affectedI thought that we would be the last to go it is so strange the way things turnDrove the night toward my home the place that I was born on the lakesideAnd as daylight broke I saw the earth the trees had burned down to the groundDon't give up you still have usDon't give up we don't need much of anythingDon'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 anymoreI'm gonna stand on that bridge keep my eyes down belowWhatever may come and whatever may goThat river's flowing that river's flowing
Moved on to another town tried hard to settle downFor every job so many men so many men no one needsDon't give up cause you have friends don't give up you're not the only oneDon't give up no reason to be ashamed don't give up you still have usDon't give up now we're proud of who you areDon't give up you know it's never been easyDon't give up cause I believe there's a place there's a place where we belong
