I Refuse To Lie Down Lyrics - Crocodile Shoes Ii - Jimmy Nail

Words and music by jimmy nall 

One day at a time 

That's how I live my life today 

One glimpse at the sun 

And I was blinded by the light 

What a price I was to pay 

Each morning I rise 

And I pray to God above 

That one day I will return 

To the world I left behind 

To the people that I love 

It's been ten years, maybe more 

Since I've been locked behind this door 

And by rights I should be free 

You can take a man, break his will 

Make him bad, give him time to kill 

But you can't do that to me 

I'm an innocent man 

And I refuse to lie down 

I refuse ta lie down 

They put me in a place 

Where the sun refused to shine 

They took away my soul 

But my memories remained 

Of that once-upon-a-time 

One day at a time 

That's how I live my life today 

Still searching to find 

A single word ihat fits the lock 

To turn the key to set me free 

And I refuse to lie down 

I refuse to lie down
