Battle Born Lyrics

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 your 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

And 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

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
Well you can't stop now

When they break your heart
And when they called (?)
Remember what I said
Boy you was battle born

(Well you can't stop now)
You was battle born

And 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

Don'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

Well you can't stop now ('cause you can't stop now)

Did they break your heart? (Did they break your heart?)
Did they (?)
Remember what I said (Remember what I said)
Boy you was battle born (you were battle born)
And you can't stop now ('cause you can't stop now)

Come on show your face
Come on, give us one (?)
(???)

And you can't stop now (no you can't stop now)

(???)
You never shine if you never burn
The rising tide, the undertow
(???)
