Jimmy Nail - I Refuse To Lie Down lyrics

Words and music by jimmy nall One day at a time That's 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 It's been ten years, maybe more Since i've 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 k** But you can't do that to me I'm 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 That's 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
