Música do Dia : Don't give up (Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush)

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

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 the a place...

There's a place where we belong...

Excelente música que trago hoje aqui a este "cantinho", de Peter Gabriel em dueto com Kate Bush...uma letra poderosa, algo triste, mas com uma forte mensagem de nunca desistirmos de algo, porque por mais complicada que estiver a nossa vida, sempre teremos alguém ou um lugar onde pertenceremos... e por vezes esquecemo-nos disso, sentimo-nos abandonados, perdidos e pensamos que o mundo se esqueceu de nós, que não existe mais nada pelo qual lutar...há sempre algo que pode melhorar, a tempestade não durará para sempre, e quando menos se espera a Luz aparece, por vezes em forma de uma pessoa amiga, outras de um local , de um emprego novo, de uma motivação que nos faz erguer a cabeça e perguntarmos a nós próprios : porque não ? porque não acreditar que serei feliz novamente ? E nunca nos esqueçamos que nunca, mas nunca é tarde para começar de novo ou de sermos felizes...nunca deveremos desistir da felicidade...e de nós próprios...
