Alicia Keys & Bono --Don't Give Up

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
'cos 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 a place
There's a place where we belong

[Jamieak1fan]

people are always complaining about shit...

I like this version...

[MusicMakesMeFeelReal]

i think gaga covered this better xD

[Cunn1ingham]

self indulgent nobheads, just ruined a great song, by being all artistically arrogant, I love U2 but fuck man, what a waste of a song

[charvea1]

Who cares about who sang it better. Stop comparing and just focus on the message thats being delivered.

[BKHTSO]

She didn't fuck it up she bought the song to a whole new generation, it wasnt done to be better than the original. It's because of the greatness of the original that this version was even made

[ensile]

bono cannot sing.

[NomaFS]

I like the jazz arrangement on this one, but I have to admire the voices of Gabriel and Bush -- they really expressed the poetry of the song.

[rjchiarito]

I like them both but this is really horrible.

[Deonicais]

it just doesnt work.

[derblae52]

NO SORRY THIS DOES NOT CUT IT . HAIL PETER AND KATE. I LOVE BONO AND ALICIA,BUT OVER PRODUCTION OR ARRANGEMENT DOES NOT REPLACE HEART AND EMPATHY. 

[ANation0nceAgain]

Too Hollywood for me.
