Can't Keep Me Down

verse #1: my mind is dead
my soul is numb
energy is drained, but i'm not done
I am a slave
its talons around
they have me now, i'm down on the ground


chorus: CAN'T KEEP ME DOWN
FOR THAT LONG
WHEN I HAVE MELODY
AND I HAVE THE SONG


verse #2: how long will this last
how long will i be under the glass
how long will i be
trapped in this cage you see
miles and miles i have gone
miles and miles it's been too long
since i had time to smell the air
since i had time to have a care


verse #3: i've tried so hard
the work is done
finally the battle's won
all because of what they said
first with the heart, then with the head
