You said they took your wife

Took your name and killed your child

Left you crying alone in the rain

And now you're lost in your world

And you can't find your way through

To lie dead in the dirt ain't what you're gonna do

So get up from the ground

The world hasn't stopped moving round and round and round

They took your name

But, Lord, they didn't take your soul

In those early days

When they took your father's tribe and land

Left him nothing but a blanket in the sand

But he never died inside

For those same men who killed your child

So get up from the ground

The world hasn't stopped moving round and round

They took your name

But, Lord, they didn't take your soul

If that's the path you're on

Well get on it and go

Took my name too, made me a star

Took my music, fucked my life

In one of those midnight bars

But I never died inside

'Cause they never took my soul for a ride

So get up from the ground

The world hasn't stopped moving round and round

They took your name

But, Lord, they didn't take your soul

If that's the path I took

So I'll work it on my own
