Don’t give up Xavier Naidoo

[Strophe 1: Xavier Naidoo]
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

[Refrain: Bantu]
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

[Strophe 2: Xavier Naidoo]
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

[Refrain: Bantu]
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
