I Refuse to Lie Down — текст песни (Jimmy Nail)

Words and music by jimmy nall



One day at a time

Thats how I live my life today

One glimpse at the sun

And I was blinded by the light

What a price I was to pay



Each morning I rise

And I pray to God above

That one day I will return

To the world I left behind

To the people that I love



Its been ten years, maybe more

Since Ive been locked behind this door

And by rights I should be free



You can take a man, break his will

Make him bad, give him time to kill

But you cant do that to me

Im an innocent man



And I refuse to lie down

I refuse ta lie down



They put me in a place

Where the sun refused to shine

They took away my soul

But my memories remained

Of that once-upon-a-time



One day at a time

Thats how I live my life today

Still searching to find

A single word ihat fits the lock

To turn the key to set me free



And I refuse to lie down

I refuse to lie down
