I Refuse to Lie Down Lyrics & Tabs by Jimmy Nail
I Refuse to Lie Down
guitar chords 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
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 kill
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
