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 hill top mansion. So how'd ya lose the light?. Was it blown by the wind?. In the still of the night. 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. (But you can't stop now). I always saw you as a kind of keeper. 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. Now don't 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. (But you can't stop now). When they break your heart. And when they called you soft. In the morn remember what I said. Boy you was Battle Born. (But 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. But you need it underneath. Rescue set me free!. Up against the wall. Up against the wall. There's something dying on the street. Up against the wall. When they knock you down. You're gonna get back on your feet. (But you can't stop now). Did they break your heart?. And did they call you soft?. In the morn remember what I said. Boy you was battle born. (But you can't stop now). Come on show your face. Come on give us one more spark. Sing a song of fire. Unless you fall into the dark. You never win. You never lose. You can never shine if you never prove. The rising tide. The undertow. The venom and. The overflow. Turn away. The open home
