Rise Against - Prayer of the refugee
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
And the morning will come soon.
Ill 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.
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont 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.
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!
So open your eyes child,
Lets be on our way.
Broken windows and ashes
Are guiding the way.
Keep quiet no longer,
Well sing through the day,
Of the lives that we ´ve lost,
And the lives we ´ve reclaimed.
Go!
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!
Dont hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground,
I dont need your help now,
You wont let me down, down, down!
Dont hold me up
(I dont need your help, Ill stand my ground)
Dont hold me up
(I dont need your help)
No! No! No!
Dont hold me up!
(I dont need your help, Ill stand my ground)
Dont hold me up!
(I dont need your help, Ill stand my ground)
Dont let me down, down, down, down, down!
Warm yourself by the fire, son,
