Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
You lost faith in the human spirit You walk around like a ghost Your star-spangled heart Took a train for the coast When you shine you're a hilltop mansion So how'd you lose the light? Was it blown by the wind, In the still of the night? We're up against the wall Up against the wall There's something dying on the street When they knock you down You're gonna get back on your feet (No you can't stop now) I always saw you as a kind of keeper A mother to a child But your boys have grown soft And your girls have gone wild From the blue ranch to the black hills To the redwood sky The season may pass But the dream doesn't die Why did you drop the ball? Up against the wall There's something dying on the street When they knock you down You're gonna get back on your feet (No you can't stop now) When they break your heart When they cause your soul to mourn Remember what I said Boy you was battle born (No, you can't stop now) You was battle born When the night falls on the land Are you haunted by the sound? It's gonna take more than a hand To turn this thing around Won't you lean it on me? Rescue, set me free Up against the wall (Up against the wall) There's something dying on the street When they knock you down (Up against the wall) You're gonna get back on your feet Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now) Did they break your heart? (Did they break your heart?) And did they cause your soul to mourn Remember what I said Boy you was battle born Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now) Come on show your face Come on give us one more spark So we'll start a fire Unless we fall into the dark And you can't stop now (No, you can't stop now) You never know If you never learn You never shine If you never burn The rising tide The undertow The venom and The overflow You turn away Welcome home
