Prayer of the Refugee

Rise Against
verse 1
At the south by the fire son,
the morning will come soon.
I'll tell you stories of a bad attack,
in a place that we once knew.
Before we packed up 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.
chorus
Don't hold me up!
No!
I can stand my own,
ground!
I don't need your help,
no!
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up!
No!
I can stand my own,
ground!
I don't need your help,
no!
You will let me down, down, down, down..!
verse 2
We are the angry and the desperate,
the hungry and the cold.
We are the ones who kept quite,
and always did what we were told. (ahhhhhh)
But we've been sweaty why you'v slept so cold,
in the safety of your home.
We've been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you've known.
chorus
Don't hold me up!
No!
I can stand my own,
ground!
I don't need your help,
no!
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up!
No!
I can stand my own,
ground!
I don't need your help,
no!
You will let me down, down, down.
verse 3
So open your eyes child,
lets be on our way. (yeah) (yeah)
Broken windows and ashes,
are guarding the way. (yeah) (yeah)
Keep crawling no longer we'll sing through the day,
of the lives that we've lost!
And the lives we've reclaimed! (go!)
chorus
Don't hold me up!
No!
I can stand my own,
ground!
I don't need your help,
no!
You will let me down, down, down.
Don't hold me up!
No!
I can stand my own,
ground!
I don't need your help,
no!
You will let me down, down, down.
verse 4
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 hold me up!
Down, down, down, down, down!
