"Prayer Of The Refugee" Lyrics

Warm yourself by the fire son
And the morning will come soon
I'll tell you stories of a better time
And 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 wont 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 won't 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 up 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 won't 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 won't let me down down down

So open your eyes child, let's be on our way
Broken windows and ashes are guarding the way
Keep quiet no longer we'll sing through the day
Of the lives that we've lost, and the life we've reclaimed

Don't hold me up now,
I can stand my own ground
I don't need your help now
You won't 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 won't let me down down down

Don't hold me up
(Don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't hold me up
(Dont need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't hold me up
(Don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't hold me up
(Don't need your help, I'll stand my ground)
Don't hold me down, down, down, down, down
