Don't Give Up
Eagle · Sub Rosa [2003]
With a loss of faith
We're still hanging on
For another day
It's so hard to see
That it's going to get better
And when will that be
It's hard to say
We must believe
That if we give we will receive
Yes we must believe
That it's going to get better
(CHORUS)
Don't give up
Never give up
We won't stop
Giving all we got
Now we're breaking away
From what holds us down
This could be the day
That brings out the light
Now we're marching on
With the will of never giving up
This time we'll have won
With out a fight
We must believe
That if we give we will receive
Yes we must believe
That it's going to get better
(CHORUS)
Forgive and forget don't hold on to the bitterness
Filled with regrets we don't wanna go there again
The glass is half full so lets get it on with togetherness
And our number will grow we will prevail in the end
(CHORUS x10 until fades)
Don't Give Up - Eagle
Released on the 2003 album Sub Rosa, 'Don't Give Up' stands as a defining track in the discography of the English band Eagle. The song exemplifies the group's signature blend of post-punk energy and melodic sensibility, characteristic of their work during the early 2000s. While the band is perhaps best known for their seminal 1998 album Desireless, Sub Rosa marked a distinct evolution in their sound, maintaining the emotional depth and rhythmic drive that fans have come to expect. The recording captures a moment where the band refined their approach to songwriting, balancing atmospheric textures with driving basslines and vocal delivery that remains a staple of their catalogue. It serves as a testament to their ability to create cohesive, emotionally resonant music that bridges the gap between their earlier experimental phases and their later, more polished output.
