**Verse 1** Sun came up, but I missed it Clouds hang low in a clean blue sky I’ve been carrying rocks where my heart should be Trying to find the man I used to be **Pre-Chorus** Every voice says, "Boy, just stop this fight" But I keep looking for a little light **Chorus** **Take me up, don't let 'em take you down,** Hold your head up when it all spins 'round When the wolves all howl and the walls come down Take my hand—we'll hold this ground **Take me up, don't let 'em take you down.** **Verse 2** I’ve seen good souls worn down by the rain They smile outside, but they hide the pain And every scar just tells me why We’re not giving up on one more try **Bridge** They can take your money They can take your name But they can’t take the fire If you keep the flame Keep that spark alive Don’t let it go under Lift your brother up Before they pull him under **Final Chorus** **Take me up, don't let 'em take you down,** A little love can shake this whole town We’ll keep singing loud till the morning comes around Side by side, we won’t back down **Take me up, don't let 'em take you down.** **Outro** Take me up... Higher than my fear Don't let 'em take you down... I'm still standing here
