Wanted: Hope And Pride Before I Die

As long as I remember the darkness of December coming down
Down on me so hard
But this time it seems much harder than ever before
Everything’s rusted no one to be trusted anymore
What am I up against?
Tried to keep our hopes up
But the facts you can’t ignore
So won’t you help me I’m falling down baby
Catch me, before I hit the ground baby
Please help me find some of my hope and my pride
Before I die
I’ve been betrayed and lied to didn’t even try to save myself
The last time I heard that whistle cry
I hung down my head and cried too
We used to be united but we don’t even fight them anymore
Whatever happened to the spirit of the times
And the life we knew?
I say help me I’m falling down baby
Catch me, before I hit the ground baby
Please help me find some of my hope and my pride
Before I die
I had a drink or two, maybe more than a few when I wrote this song
And I realize that I’ve spent more time with a bottle of wine than with you
Now I’m on the train I’m going back again where I belong
I’m coming home to you
So lay down your sword down by the riverside
I say help me I’m falling down baby
Catch me, before I hit the ground baby
Please help me find some of my hope and my pride
Before I die…
