I Will Not Go Down Words by SHEILA KIRSTEN HUGHES and CHRIS HUGHES Music by SHEILA KIRSTEN HUGHES There's a man on the corner Giving out rays of sunshine But he ain't got one for you and me The weary nation The lost generation We're going under, he says, we're goin' down I need to feel it Feel it comin' around We've been searching for comfort In the neon signs They ask no questions, they just buzz us by Where will we go when the lights go from green to red They move us forward They hold us back I will not go down No I will not go down I need to feel you Feel you comin' around Or am I, am I alone? There's an answer in the questions 'Cause there's a lie in their reasons why But we're getting closer If we don't give in We will not go down If there was one star shining in the night sky If there's one star shining we'd be alright But the sky grew dark when the moon hit her head And the sun went wild when he was turned away (chanting) It'll be alright, It'll be alright, It'll be alright, It'll be alright, Don't you give in Sing it with me, yeah We will not go down Don't you give in Sing it with me, yeah We will not go down Copyright © 2006 Sheila Kirsten Hughes, ASCAP.
