Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
I抣l 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抰 hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don抰 need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don抰 hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don抰 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 that kept quiet,
And always did what we were told.

But we抳e been sweating while you slept so calm,
In the safety of your home.
We抳e been pulling out the nails that hold up
Everything you抳e known.

Don抰 hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don抰 need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don抰 hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don抰 need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

So open your eyes child,
Let抯 be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.

Keep quiet no longer,
We抣l sing through the day,
Of the lives that we抳e lost,
And the lives we抳e reclaimed.

Don抰 hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don抰 need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don抰 hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I don抰 need your help now,
You will let me down, down, down!

Don抰 hold me up?br>(I don抰 need your help, I抣l stand my ground)
Don抰 hold me up?br>(I don抰 need your help)
No! No! No!
Don抰 hold me up!
(I don抰 need your help, I抣l stand my ground)
Don抰 hold me up!
(I don抰 need your help, I抣l stand my ground)
Don抰 let me down, down, down, down, down!
