Down, fall by the wayside no getting out Down, cry me a river dried up and dammed The names can be changed but the place is still the same I am loaded, told that all's for naught Holds me down
Rise, life is in motion, I'm stuck in line Rise, you can't be neutral on a moving train One day the symptoms fade Think I'll throw these pills away
And if hope could grow from dirt like me It can be done Won't let the light escape from me Won't let the darkness swallow me So long
