Songwriters: Barnes, Brandon; Chasse, Christopher; Mcilrath, Timothy; Principe, Joseph Daniel;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 won't 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 who 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 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, 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  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  Don't hold me up, no, no, no  Don't hold me up  Don't hold me up  Don't let me down, down, down, down, down      © DO IT TO WIN MUSIC; SONY/ATV TUNES LLC;    these lyrics are last corrected by Brittnie :)
