don t give up africa

Alicia Keys

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 lose

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, cause somewhere there s a place where we belong

Rest your head, you worry too much
It s going to be all right
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 any more
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
Whatever may go
That river s flowing
That river s flowing

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we would be last to go
It s so strange the way things turn

Don t give up cause you have friends
Don t give up, you re not the only one
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

Africa, Africa...
