[Verse 1]
Down, fall by the wayside, no gettin' out
Oh, down, cry me a river dried up and dammed
The names can be changed
But the place is still the same
[Chorus]
I am loaded, told that all's for naught
Holds me down
[Verse 2]
Rise, life is in motion, I'm stuck in line
Oh, rise, you can't be neutral on a moving train
One day the symptoms fade
Think I'll throw these pills away
[Chorus]
And if hope could grow from dirt like me
It can be done
[Bridge]
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me, yeah
[Interlude]
(So long)
