Lay your pretty head down on my shoulder You don't have to worry anymore This old world is cold and getting colder And I know how to lock and bolt the door I'm strong enough to hold you through the winter Mean enough to stare your demons down The hard times put the shine into the diamond I won't let that keep us in the ground I'm a riser I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider Pushing comes a-shovin' Hey I'm a fighter When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter A get out aliver, out of the fire Survivor If you we ain't got no money I can make it I ain't afraid of working to the bone When I don't know what I'm do and I can fake it I'll pray till Jesus rolls away the stone And I'm a riser I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider Pushin' comes a-shovin' Hey I'm a fighter When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter A get out aliver, of the fire, survivor I'm a trier I'm a get down low so I can lift you higher An army couldn't keep down my desire Yeah I'm a riser I'm a get up off the ground, don't run and hider Hey pushin' comes to shovin' Baby I'm a fighter When darkness comes to town, I'm a lighter A get out aliver, of the fire, survivor I'm a riser I'm a riser I'm a riser
