Prayer Of The Refugee

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
