Don't Give Up
Fair Warning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So here you go again, all on your own
The roads you used to know
Turned into deserted land
Lost in your memories
A place called home
It's now you realize
All your hope was build on sand
When life's got you down
Then life can bring you rught up
Cause no one can steal your dreams

Don't give up
Whatever may come
There still shines a light
Keep your dreams
When the walls come tumbling down
Just stand up and fight

Sure there've been better days
For you and me
But you've made up your mind
To walk alone on lonely streets
Though sadness fills my heart
Since you've been gone
May all your dreams come true
May you trust the ones you meet

When life's got you down
Then life can bring you right up
'Cause no one can steel your dreams

Don't give up
Whatever may come
There still shines a light
Keep your dreams
When the walls come tumbling down
Just stand up and fight

When life's got you down
Then life can bring you right up
'Cause no one can steal your dreams

No one can steal your dreams
I said no one can steal your dreams
Oh ...no...
Keep them
You have to keep them
Cause there still shines a light
So stand up and fight
And fight, and fight
So don't give up
Never give up
So don't give up

Don't give up
Never give up
Don't give up
Keep your dreams




Keep your dreams
Try, try, try...

Line by Line Meaning

So here you go again, all on your own
Starting over again, alone, making your own way


The roads you used to know
The familiar places, people and routines you used to have


Turned into deserted land
Everything has changed, become barren


Lost in your memories
Reminiscing the past, struggling to move on


A place called home
The once known safe, comfortable haven


It's now you realize
Coming to a new understanding of how things are


All your hope was build on sand
Realizing that what you thought was certain is unstable


When life's got you down
When things are difficult and challenging


Then life can bring you right up
Life can also be good and uplifting


Cause no one can steal your dreams
No one can take away what you aspire to achieve


Don't give up
Don't lose hope or give in

When the walls come tumbling down
When everything falls apart


Just stand up and fight
Persist and resist the difficulties that lie ahead


Sure there've been better days
Acknowledging that the past used to be better


For you and me
Both experiencing difficult times


But you've made up your mind
You have decided to take control of your life


To walk alone on lonely streets
To go through difficult times by yourself


Though sadness fills my heart
Despite feeling sad about your absence


Since you've been gone
After you left or changed


May all your dreams come true
Hoping that you achieve all that you aspire


May you trust the ones you meet
Wishing you meet trustworthy, honest people


No one can steal your dreams
Reinforcing that your goals are yours alone
