Peter Gabriel
Don’t Give Up
[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
