[Verse 1]
Daddy was an electrician, fingers to the bone
Mama was a seamstress, ditched everything she owned
Crossing the [?], a dream over the tide
So just we were ready there, approaching the front line
[Chorus]
Don't let me down
I'm beating around a cage like a bird gone wild
Come back around
Strong hands, pull back the wire
[Verse 2]
Strange thoughts and images, what awaited me
My mind was painting pictures only I could see
A traitor, I was too far gone and belonged to either side
[?], they return way behind the tide
[Chorus]
Don't let me down
I'm beating around a cage like a bird gone wild
Come back around
Strong hands, pull back the wire
[Outro]
Don't let me down
I'm beating around a cage like a bird gone wild
Come back around
Strong hands, pull back the wire
Don't let me down
I'm beating around a cage like a bird gone wild
Come back around
Strong hands, pull back the wire
Pull back the wire
