Well I won't back down, no I won't back downYou can stand me up at the gates of hellBut I won't back down Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned aroundAnd I'll keep this world from draggin' me downGonna stand my ground and I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way outHey I will stand my ground and I won't back down Well I know what's right, I got just one lifeIn a world that keeps on pushin' me aroundBut I stand my ground and I won't back down Hey baby, there ain't no easy way outHey I will stand my ground and I won't back downNo I won't back down.

Up in the mornin', out on the jobWork like the devil for my pay.But that lucky old sun has nothin' to doBut roll around heaven all day. Had a fuss with my woman, an' I toil for my kids,An' I sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray,While that lucky old sun got nothin' to doBut roll around heaven all day.Oh, Lord above, don't you hear me cryin'Tears are rollin' down my eyes.Send in a cloud with a silver linin',Take me to paradise.Show me that river, Take me across,wash all my troubles awayLike that lucky old sun give me nothing to doBut roll around heaven all day.

Is it getting betterOr do you feel the same?Will it make it easier on you nowYou've got someone to blame? You saidOne loveOne lifeWhen it's one needIn the nightOne love, we get to share itIt leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it Did I disappoint youOr leave a bad taste in your mouth?You act like you never had loveAnd you want me to go without Well it'sToo late TonightTo drag the past outInto the lightWe're one, but we're not the sameWe get to carry each otherCarry each otherOne Have you come here for forgivness?Have you come to raise the dead?Have you come here to play JesusTo the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much?More than a lot?You gave me nothing, nowIt's all I gotWe're one, but we're not the sameWell, we hurt each other, and we're doin' it again You said love is a templeLove the higher lawLove is a templeLove the higher lawYou ask me to enterBut then you make me crawlAnd I can't be holdin' onTo what you've gotWhen all you've got is hurt One loveOne bloodOne lifeYou've got to do what you shouldOne life with each otherSisterBrothersOne life, but we're not the sameWe get to carry each otherCarry each otherOneOneOneOne

When life seems fullOf clouds and rainAnd I'm fullOf nothin' but painWho soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain?Nobody When Wintertime comesWith its snow and sleetAnd me with hungerAnd cold feetWho says "Here's two bits, go and eat"?Nobody Well, I ain't never done nothin' to nobodyI ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no timeAnd until I get something from somebody, sometimeI don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time When Summertime comesAll warm and clearAnd my friends see meDrawin' nearWho says "come on in and have a beer"?Nobody Well one time when things wasLookin' brightI started to whittlin' on a stick one nightWho said "Hey! That's dynamite!"?Nobody Mmmm, I ain't never done nothin' to nobodyI ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no timeAnd until I get something from somebody, sometimeI don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time I ain't never done nothin' to nobodyI ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no timeAnd until I get something from somebody, sometimeI don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time

Well you're my friend And can you see Many times, we've been out drinking Many times we've shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever noticeThe kind of thoughts I got? Well you know I have a loveA love for everyone I knowAnd you know I have a driveTo live I won't let goBut can you see its oppositionComes rising up sometimes?That its dreadful impositionComes blacking in my mind? And that I see a darkness And that I see a darknessAnd that I see a darknessAnd that I see a darknessDid you know how much I love you?Here's a hope that somehow youCan save me from this darkness Well I hope that someday buddyWe have peace in our livesTogether or apartAlone or with our wivesAnd we can stop our whoringAnd pull the smiles insideAnd light it up foreverAnd never go to sleepMy best unbeaten brotherThis isn't all I see Oh no, I see a darknessOh no, I see a darknessOh no, I see a darknessOh no, I see a darknessDid you know how much I love you?Here's a hope that somehow youCan save me from this darkness

It ALL began when they come took me from my homeAnd put me on Death Row,a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know. I began to warm and chillTo objects and their fields,A ragged cup, a twisted mopThe face of Jesus in my soupThose sinister dinner dealsThe meal trolley's wicked wheelsA hooked bone rising from my foodAll things either good or ungood. And the mercy seat is waitingAnd I think my head is burningAnd in a way I'm yearningTo be done with all this weighing of the truth.An eye for an eyeAnd a tooth for a toothAnd anyway I told the truthAnd I'm not afraid to die. I hear stories from the chamberChrist was born into a mangerAnd like some ragged strangerHe died upon the crossMight I say, it seems so fitting in its wayHe was a carpenter by tradeOr at least that's what I'm told My kill-hand'statooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fistThat filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. In Heaven His throne is made of goldThe ark of his Testament is stowedA throne from which I'm toldAll history does unfold.It's made of wood and wireAnd my body is on fireAnd God is never far away. Into the mercy seat I climbMy head is shaved, my head is wiredAnd like a moth that triesTo enter the bright eyeI go shuffling out of lifeJust to hide in death awhileAnd anyway I never lied. And the mercy seat is waitingAnd I think my head is burningAnd in a way I'm yearningTo be done with all this weighing of the truth.An eye for an eyeAnd a tooth for a toothAnd anyway I told the truthAnd I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is burningAnd I think my head is glowingAnd in a way I'm hopingTo be done with all this twisting of the truth.An eye for an eyeAnd a tooth for a toothAnd anyway there was no proofAnd I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is glowingAnd I think my head is smokingAnd in a way I'm hopingTo be done with all these looks of disbelief.A life for a lifeAnd a truth for a truthAnd I've got nothing left to loseAnd I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is smokingAnd I think my head is meltingAnd in a way that's helpingTo be done with all this twisting of the truthAn eye for an eyeAnd a tooth for a toothAnd anyway I told the truthBut I'm afraid I told a lie.

Would you lay with me, in a field of stone?If my needs were strong, would you lay with me? Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them, dear.In the midnight hour, if my lips were dry. Would you go away to another land?Walk a thousand miles through the burnin' sand?Wipe the blood away from my dyin' hand,If I give myself to you? Will you bathe me, in the stream of life?When the moon is full, will you bathe me? Will you still love me, when I'm down and out?In my time of trial, will you stand by me? Would you go away to another land?Walk a thousand miles through the burnin' sand?Wipe the blood away from my dyin' hand,If I give myself to you? Would you lay with me, In a field of stone?Should my lips grow dry, should you wet them, dear? Will you bathe me, in the stream of life?Would you still love me, when I'm down and out? Would you lay with me, in a field of stone?Should my lips grow dry, would you wet them, dear?

(feat. Sheryl Crow) Field of diamonds in the skyWorlds are whirling right on byAre you wondering who am iField of diamonds in the sky Am I just a star in some crownOr someone's life sun going down, down, down Field of diamonds in the skySilent beauty shining highAre you tears the angels cryField of diamonds in the sky Field of diamonds in the skyLike the night you pass me byI could touch you if I tryField of diamonds in the sky Am I just a star in some crownOr someone's life sun going down, down, down Field of diamonds in the skySilent beauty shining highAre you tears the angels cryField of diamonds in the sky

I know that hearts were lovinglong before I was here.And I'm not the first to ever cryin my bed or in my beer.There were songs before there was radioof love that staysand love that goes.They were writing meloncholy tunesand tearful words that rhyme. Before my time.Before my time. There were songs in old dusty booksof love that's always been.Sweet lovers in their glorywho are now gone with the wind.Old fashioned love words spokenthen keep coming back around againnothing's changed except the name,their love burned just like mine. Before my time.Before my time. And in the dim of yesterdayI can clearly seethat flesh and bloodcried out to someoneas it does in me.And there was some old song that said,"I love you til I die." Before my time.Before my time. But what the old time master's hadis what I feel for you.Love is love and doesn't changein a century or two.If someway they had seen and knewhow it would be for me and youthey'd wish for love like yoursand they would wish for love like mine. Before my time.Before my time.
