Warm yourself by the fire, son |
|
And the morning will come soon |
|
I'll tell you stories of a better time |
|
In a place that we once knew |
|
Before we packed our bags |
|
And left all this behind us in the dust |
|
We had a place that we could call home |
|
And a life no one could touch |
|
Don't hold me up now |
|
I can stand my own ground |
|
I don't need your help now |
|
You won't let me down, down, down |
|
Don't hold me up now |
|
I can stand my own ground |
|
I don't need your help now |
|
You will let me down, down, down, down |
|
We are the angry and the desperate |
|
The hungry and the cold |
|
We are the ones who kept quiet |
|
And always did what we were told |
|
But we've been sweating while you slept so calm |
|
In the safety of your home |
|
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up |
|
Everything you've known |
|
Don't hold me up now |
|
I can stand my own ground |
|
I don't need your help now |
|
You will let me down, down, down |
|
Don't hold me up now |
|
I can stand my own ground |
|
I don't need your help now |
|
You will let me down, down, down |
|
So open your eyes, child |
|
Let's be on our way |
|
Broken windows and ashes |
|
Are guiding the way |
|
Keep quiet no longer |
|
We'll sing through the day |
|
Of the lives that we've lost |
|
And the lives we've reclaimed, go |
|
Don't hold me up now |
|
I can stand my own ground |
|
I don't need your help now |
|
You will let me down, down, down |
|
Don't hold me up now |
|
I can stand my own ground |
|
I don't need your help now |
|
You will let me down, down, down |
|
Don't hold me up |
|
Don't hold me up, no, no, no |
|
Don't hold me up |
|
Don't hold me up |
|
Don't let me down, down, down, down, down |
