Warm your self by the fire son
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
we had a place that we could call home
and a life that no one could touch

Dont hold me up now
i can stand my own ground
i dont need your help now
you will let me 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 spelt so calm in the safety of your home
we've been pulling up the nails that hold up everything you've know

Dont hold me up now
i cant stand my own ground
i dont need your help now
you will let me down down down

So open your eyes child lets be on our way
broken windows and ashes are guiding our way
keep quiet no longer we'll sing through the day
of the lives that we have lost
and the lives we've reclaimed
