I saw him on a road to nowhere
He was shivering, scared and cold
He’d made up his mind, but he never made time
Just like somebody else I know

I can try to be a little bit stronger
Try to hold on a little bit longer

Chorus
But don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me

I went back to the place I was born
And I tried to picture the scene
Of a once-young man as he starts to become
What he never expected to be

I can try to be a little bit stronger
Try to hold on a little bit longer

Chorus
But don’t give up on me
Don’t give up on me

Bridge
So many times I wondered
What it must have been like
Sometimes you hear the thunder
Sometimes all you see is a flash of a light
