For some reason today when I heard this song for the millionth time I thought about our team. I love this song! We will all have days that seem tough and we will feel like "giving up" or going back to what we know not to be right for us. I love the sound of both voices! The sound is so encouraging.

For those of us on this journey of weight loss, one thing we have to realize is that a support group is a necessity. We were not meant to go through this alone!!! I feel so blessed to be a member of this team. A team that is there to support and encourage each other to not give up, a team that helps each other "Get back up" when others have a day where they feel like they're gonna slip on eating or when they feel like they just can't go through with the workout. This team ROCKS!! The best part of it is that everyone will have tough moments because we are human. When those times get tough, when you feel like you were not born to succeed, when you feel like you can't take it anymore, plant those feet firm in the ground and don't take another step. Turn towards your team members, call out for help and I promise they will come running and help you by walking the path, together.

Here are the lyrics:

S:
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

S:
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

N:
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

S:
Though I saw it all around
I never thought that I could be affected
I thought that we would be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

S:
Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
And as daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

N:
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
There's a place where we belong

N:
Rest ur head
You worry to much
It's gonna be alright
When times get rough
You can call back on us
Don't give up
please don't give up

S:
'Got to walk out of here
I can't take anymore
I'm gonna stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river's flowing
That river's flowing

S:
Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

N:
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 a place
There's a place where we belong

And the Song:
