You Ain’t Gonna Drag Me Down

I am waking from this haze
dreamt of more forgiving days
where the burdens of my fear lifted away
I’ve been unseen and forlorn
shredded cloth that’s been outworn
and my silence will no longer be the same, oh no

‘Cause you ain’t gonna drag me down
You ain’t gonna drag me down
no more, no more

I am walking trepid steps
filled with ordinary breath
and the scars that decorate my weathered soul
Kicked around and tussled up
Bore the brunt and had too much
in a life that’s always bent before the fold

You ain’t gonna drag me down
You ain’t gonna drag me down
no more, no more

Wasted time and constant sadness
A broken body left in ashes
All I wanted was to feel alive

You ain’t gonna drag me down
You ain’t gonna drag me down
no more, no more
