Lyrics

We Won't Give Up (3:36)
(Ross Falzone)

Well, an honest day's work for an honest day's pay
With a proud stamp: "Made in the USA"
From the fields and the factories to the shops and the auto plants
We're standing shoulder to shoulder under the union flag
And we won't give up - We won't give up
No, we won't give up - We won't give up

He put thirty years into that blue-collar job
He's a stand-up man and his word is his bond
He gave his back and he gave his time
And now they tell him his town is dying
But he won't give up - He won't give up

Now, the sun is setting on a woman's dreams
She's got bills to pay and she's got mouths to feed
She gave her heart and she gave her mind
Now there's an unemployment line
But she won't give up - She won't give up
No, she won't give up - She won't give up

Until equal rights are more than words
Until their work is honored and justice is served
No, they won't give up - They won't give up

In every city at every turn
There are a million stories yet to be heard
Hands are reaching out to save a life
Building a bridge, shining a light

We won't give up - No, we won't give up
No, we won't give up - No, we won't give up
