Lyrics

0:35You lost faith in the human spirit
0:38You walk around like a ghost
0:41Your star-spangled heart
0:44Took a train for the coast
0:47When you shine you're a hilltop mansion
0:50So how'd you lose the light
0:53Was it blown by the wind
0:56In the still of the night
1:00We're up against the wall
1:03Up against the wall
1:06There's something dying on the street
1:09When they knock you down
1:12You're gonna get back on your feet
1:15No you can't stop now
1:18I always saw you as a kind of keeper
1:21A mother to a child
1:24But your boys have grown soft
1:27And your girls have gone wild
1:31From the blue ranch to the black hills
1:33To the redwood sky
1:36The season may pass
1:39But the dream doesn't die
1:43Why did you drop the ball
1:46Up against the wall
1:49There's something dying on the street
1:52When they knock you down
1:55You're gonna get back on your feet
1:59No you can't stop now
2:01When they break your heart
2:04When they cause your soul to mourn
2:08Remember what I said
2:10Boy you was battle born
2:14No you can't stop now
2:21You was battle born
2:30When the night falls on the land
2:33Are you haunted by the sound
2:42It's gonna take more than a hand
2:45To turn this thing around
2:48Won't you lean it on me
2:50Rescue set me free
2:53Up against the wall (Up against the wall)
2:56There's something dying on the street
2:59When they knock you down (Up against the wall)
3:02You're gonna get back on your feet
3:06Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now)
3:09Did they break your heart (Did they break your heart )
3:11And did they cause your soul to mourn
3:15Remember what I said
3:17Boy you was battle born
3:20Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now)
3:24Come on show your face
3:25Come on give us one more spark
3:30So we'll start a fire
3:32Unless we fall into the dark
3:36And you can't stop now (No you can't stop now)
3:39You never know
3:40If you never learn
3:41You never shine
3:43If you never burn
3:44The rising tide
3:46The undertow
3:47The venom and
3:49The overflow
3:50You turn away
3:52Welcome home
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
