Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee

Track 6 from The Suffer & the Witness 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 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 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 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 (I don't need your help, I'll stand my ground) Don't hold me up (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 (Don't need your help) Don't let me down, down, down, down, down
