Brother called from the mainland last week Said he'd found himself a cleaner kind of life Said the harbour's loud and the living is bleak And a man like me should give up the fight Maybe he's right and maybe he's not But I've got my granddad's handprints on this wheel And the men before me gave everything they've got For the one thing I still know how to feel Don't give up, no don't give up, oh no don't give up now Hold the rope, hold the mast, hold your head somehow When the cold moves in and everything breaks down Don't give up, because this is your town! We've all been to the water's edge We've all stood looking at the drop We've all teetered on a broken ledge And we've all found a reason not to stop Not to stop, not to stop Don't give up, no don't give up, oh no don't give up now Hold the rope, hold the mast, hold your head somehow When the cold rolls in and the world says lie down Don't give up, you were built for this town! Don't give up, you were built for this town!
