Don't Give Up (Africa) lyrics

Oh…..

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
(na na na na na na na na na na na no)

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we would 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, out on the lakeside
The 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, no no no
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, (yeah)

Got to walk out of here (hey)
I can't take anymore
Gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
Whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

Don't give up
'Cause you have friends
Don't give up
You're not the only one… no no no no no no no no no
Don't give up
There’s no reason to be ashamed
Don't give up
You still, you still have us
I believe, you and me
That somewhere
There’s a place…
Where we belong
(na na na na na na na na na na na no)

Af-ri-ca…
Af-ri-ca…
