lyrics

there are millions of people out
waiting for someone
who knows how to turn on the light
but I'm only the messenger
no one informed me
that I had to put up a fight

I'm not ready to rumble
can't hold steady
I might tumble
back down

I'd erase all the letters
I wrote to this city
for I am not meant to pass down
and the photographs hanging
would surely look pretty
if in them I couldn't be found

I'm not ready to rumble
can't hold steady
I might tumble
back down

every man in the mountain
is sure he is working
to get what his family needs
but the mouths of his children,
his poor, hungry children
are not the first he gets to feed

I'm not ready to rumble
can't hold steady
I might tumble
back down
