Nothing You Can Do Will Hold Me Down

You always bring the rain, clouding up the sky again I saw the sun today and I realized that I must change It's been a week of two, but I finally wrote this song for you Now I'm feeling better, since I stepped away from dismal weather I'll take the dreams that you throw away and keep them for another day Nothing you can do will hold me down I'll take the dreams that you throw away and keep them for another day Nothing you can do will hold me down I've tried so hard to be, the one who cared for you and me But all you've got is hate and the way that you retaliate And so I took all your letters and I painted them to look like feathers And then I flew away. I won't be back, so please don't wait I'll take the dreams that you throw away and keep them for another day Nothing you can do will hold me down I'll take the dreams that you throw away and keep them for another day Nothing you can do will hold me down I wonder if you think on me and on our history If you can understand, the heart that beats inside the man I took the shattered dreams and made them into art you see And every single day, I look at them and then I say I'll take the dreams that you throw away and keep them for another day Nothing you can do will hold me down I'll take the dreams that you throw away and keep them for another day Nothing you can do will hold me down Hold me down
