Prayer Of The Refugee by Rise Against
Warm (1)________________ by the fire, son
And the morning will come soon
I’ll tell you stories of a better time
In a place that we (2)________ knew
Before we (3)____________ our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust
We had a place that we could (4)________ 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 that 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 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 (5)________ child
Let’s be on our way
Broken (6)______________ 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 (7)__________ we’ve reclaimed
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!
Don’t (8)________ me up…
(I don’t (9)________ your help, I’ll stand my ground)
Don’t hold me up…
(I don’t need your help)
No! No! No!
Don’t (10)________ 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!
And the morning will come soon
I’ll tell you stories of a better time
In a place that we (2)________ knew
Before we (3)____________ our bags
And left all this behind us in the dust
We had a place that we could (4)________ 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!...
