I am a pauper
I am a cripple’s son
I have done nothing 
But watch my life keep burning

Throw down your guns
Show me what freedom feels like
I’ve suffered too much
Show me how freedom feels

I feel you coming
I feel the earth awake
Why must you haunt me?
When it’s not me you’re seeking

My world is under fire 
The heat is getting higher
My feet are sinking under me 
My skin is burning over me
