Prayer Of The Refugee by Rise Against

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 (1)________ 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 that kept quiet
And always did what we (2)________ told
But we’ve been sweating while you slept so calm
In the safety of your home
We’ve been pulling out the (3)__________ that hold up
Everything you’ve known
Don’t hold me up now
I can (4)__________ my own ground
I don’t need (5)________ (6)________ 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
Let’s 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

Don’t hold me up now
I can (7)__________ 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 (8)________ 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 (9)________ help, I’ll (10)__________ 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!
