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 you're a hill top mansion
So how'd you lose the light
Was it blown by the wind in the still of the night
You're up against the wall
Up against the wall
Something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(Cause you can't stop now)
I always saw you as a kind of keeper
A mother to a child
But your boys have grown soft
And your girls have gone wild.
From the blue ridge to the black hills
To the redwood sky.
The season may pass
But the dream doesn't die
Now that you dropped the ball
You're up against the wall
Up against the wall
Something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(Cause you can't stop now)
When they break your heart
And when they cause your soul to mourn
Remember what I said, that you was battle born
(Cause you can't stop now)
You was battle born
When the night falls on the land
Are you haunted by the sound
Its gonna take more than
A hand to turn this sing around
Do you need a little relief, rescue?
Set me free
Up against the wall
(Up against the wall)
Something dying on the street
When they knock you down
You're gonna get back on your feet
(Cause you can't stop now)
