{Verse}
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.
{Chrous}
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!
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!
{Solo}
{Chrous}
Don?t hold me up now,
Don?t hold me up?
(I don?t need your help, I?ll stand my ground)
Don?t hold me up?
(I don?t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don?t hold me up!
(I don?t need your help, I?ll stand my ground)
Don?t hold me up!
(I don?t need your help)
Don?t let me down, down, down, down, down!
