John Legend - Don't Give Up lyrics

J.L.: 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 P.: Don't give up 'Cause you have friends Don't give up You're not beaten, yet Don't give up I know you can make it good J.L.: 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 P.: Don't give up You still have us Don't give up We don't need much of anything, no Don't give up 'Cause somewhere there's a place where we belong Rest your head You worry too much It's gonna be alright Both: When times get rough You can fall back on us P.: Don't give up Oh, please, please, don't give up J.L.: Got to walk out of here I can't take anymore Gonna stand on that bridge Keep my eyes down below Both: Whatever may come And whatever may go That river's flowing Ooh, that river's flowing J.L.: Moved on to another town Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men So many men no one needs P.: 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 J.L.: Mm, don't give up P.: 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 No matter what you do Don't give up 'Cause I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong Don't give up
