Rise Against - Prayer of the Refugee lyrics

[Rise Against - 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
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 (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

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
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 (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
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, 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 go

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

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
