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 yet
Don't give up - I know you can make it good.

Though I saw it all around
never thought that I could be affected
Thought that we'd be 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 a place
There's a place where we belong

... wenn der Moment kommt, und er kommt für jeden Menschen garantiert, in dem alles über einen hereinstürzt, sei es aus eigenem Verschulden oder wegen puren Pechs oder von allem etwas, dann gibt es nur zwei Betrachtungsweisen:

"Don´t give up", sein Herz in die Hand nehmen und kämpfen.

oder

"Ein Mann muss wissen, wann er verloren hat".

Für letzteren Fall steht man vor der schwierigen Entscheidung, sich nach neuen Ufern umzuschauen. Diese Entscheidung nimmt niemand einen ab, es sind die bittersten Stunden des Lebens. Und doch erwächst aus ihnen menschliche Reife, die notwendig ist, um das Leben und sich selber zu begreifen - es ist wie nach einem Gewitter: die Luft ist wieder rein und frisch, und man kann tief durchatmen !
