Prayer of the Refugee (Live)

Lyrics

[Intro] You guys having a good time out there? That's good, we should be having good times We should all be having good times, we should be fighting for the right to have good times And we should be fighting for the rights of every single person to have good times around this planet That's what we should be doing It's kind of what this song was about It goes out to anybody who has ever made drastic decisions in their life to improve their own lives or improve the lives of those around them It's called "Prayеr Of The Refugee" [Verse 1] Warm yourself by thе fire, son 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 [Chorus] 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I can stand my own ground I don't need your help now 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 quiet And always did what we were told (Oh, oh, oh) But we've been sweating while you slept so calm in the safety of your home (Oh, oh, oh) We've been pulling out the nails that hold up everything you've known [Chorus] 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I can stand my own ground I don't need your help now You will let me down, down, down [Bridge] So open your eyes, child, let's be on our way (Hey, hey) Broken windows and ashes are guiding the way (Hey, hey) Keep quiet no longer, we'll sing through the day (Hey, hey) Of the lives that we've lost and the lives we've reclaimed Let's go! [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] 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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I can stand my own ground I don't need your help now You will let me down, down, down [Outro] 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, I'll stand my ground) Don't let me down, down, down, down, down
