RISE AGAINST lyrics : "Prayer of the Refugee"
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've slept so calm in the safety 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, lets 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
