In this proud land we grew up strong 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
I know you can make it good
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
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
We don't need much of anything 'Cause somewhere there's a place There's a place where we belong
I'm gonna stand on that bridge
Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men
We're proud of who you are
