from the gutter to great height
shake that fist that's full of iron
and make it alright

it's true
i'll pick it up and pass it on for you
your inside out
your heart is black and blue
but from the cracks a tiny seedling grew

no
just couldn't stand to watch you leave it go
when all in all it's such a useless woe
cut loose all the baggage that's in tow 

now
it's time for you to show somebody how
to open up and take that solemn vow
down the line as far as will allow
