Campfire Song

[Verse 1]
Once we had a land and we thought it fair
Look in the atlas and you would find it there
Sleeping at night wrapped up in our beds
Safe from the world so we wouldn't be scared
Maybe we were let off too light in the past
Teachers gave us medals for coming last
But ain't it funny how the bottom kids in class
Always seem to be the ones who have the last laugh

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause we didn't give up, no, we didn't give up
We didn't give up, no no no
We didn't give up, no, we didn't give up
No no no

[Verse 2]
So we grew our hair and sharpened our claws
And soon we saw the writing on the wall
Marched in our thousands against a war
Nobody could give us a straight answer for
Lennon taught us to feel and Guevara to fight
Marley said everything's gonna be alright
But we couldn't look our parents in the eye
Everybody choosing different sides

[Chorus]
Hold on to what's inside
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Somewhere in your eyes
There is a spirit that will never die
You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Hold on, yeah you gotta fight
And take it with you till the day you die

[Verse 3]
Twenty years of education and still
No one taught us how to love ourselves until
We danced in the corner of an English field
Then in the morning all of our fates were sealed
Try to fix our broken hearts with drugs
To repair the feeling of never being enough
But how the hell were we to know what the damage does
Losing yourself to someone you love too much

[Chorus]
Hold on to what's inside
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Somewhere in your eyes
There is a spirit that will never die
Hold on, yeah you gotta try
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Hold on, yeah you gotta fight
And keep it with you through the lonely nights

[Bridge]
Staring at the ceiling
Or climbing up the walls
Try to find the meaning
The meaning of it all
When that old familiar feeling
Keeps coming 'round to call
It goes on and on and on and on
On and on and on and on

We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up
We'll never give up, no no no
We'll never give up, no, we'll never give up
We'll never give up, no no no

No no no
No no no no no
No no no
No no no no no no

[Chorus]
Hold on to what's inside
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
Somewhere in your eyes
There is a spirit that will never die
You gotta hold on, yeah you gotta try
Onto a feeling that you can't deny
So hold on, yeah you gotta fight
And take it with you to the other side

[Outro]
(You gotta hold on)
Take it with you to the other side
Take it with you to the other side
(You gotta hold on)
Take it with you to the other side
Take it with you to the other side
(You gotta hold on)
Take it with you to the other side
Take it with you to the other side
