Don't Give Up By Peter Gabriel
Don't Give Up was inspired and written by Peter Gabriel after seeing a TV show about unemployment and family life, and a photo of a family in the dust bowl depression. Peter Gabriel had some kind of nervous breakdown in 1985. This song is to reward the support he got from his family. It got me through a period of dis-employment. It is one of my more inspirational songs out there.
The basic idea is that handling failure is one of the hardest things we have to learn to do. Peter Gabriel.
So don’t give up. Be strong and courageous. Continue your march of faith. Your present challenge of faith could be just ‘the lion and the bear’. It could be positioning and training you to kill the giant and unlock the rewards thereafter.
Don't Give Up By Peter Gabriel
From the album "So" 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
'cos 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 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 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 theres a place
there's a place where we belong
Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don't give up and don't give in. Wanda Carter Never, never, never give up. Winston Churchill
