[Verse 1]
Down, fall by the wayside, no gettin' out
Oh, down, cry me a river dried up and dammed
The names can be changed
But the place is still the same

[Chorus 1]
I am loaded, told that all's for naught
Holds me down

[Verse 2]
Rise, life is in motion, I'm stuck in line
Oh, rise, you can't be neutral on a moving train
One day the symptoms fade
Think I'll throw these pills away

[Chorus 2]
And if hope could grow from dirt like me
It can be done

[Bridge]
Won't let the light escape from me
Won't let the darkness swallow me, yeah

[Interlude]
(So long)
[Guitar Solo]
