Beat Em Down

IN THESE HARD TIMES, FILLED WITH SHADOWS

WHEN THE DARK CLOUDS CALL MY NAME

WHEN THESE DEVILS, SWARM AROUND ME

THAT’S WHEN YOUR LOVE BEATS DOWN LIKE RAIN

BEAT EM DOWN LOVE, OH BEAT EM DOWN LOVE

I’LL USE MY HEART’S LOVE TO, BEAT EM DOWN

WHEN A DARK MIND, CREEPS UP ON ME

LIKE A COWARD IN THE NIGHT

THEY TRY TO SHAKE ME, THEY TRY TO BREAK ME

BUT THEN MY HEART’S LOVE SHOWS, ME THE LIGHT

BEAT EM DOWN LOVE, OH BEAT EM DOWN LOVE

I’LL USE MY HEART’S LOVE TO, BEAT EM DOWN

WHEN THEY ACCUSE ME, BEAT, AND ABUSE ME

LEAVE ME BATHING IN MY PAIN

THEY WON’T DEFEAT ME, BREAK, OR DEPLETE ME

MY LOVE IS STRONGER THAN THEIR CLAIM

BEAT EM DOWN LOVE, OH BEAT EM DOWN LOVE

I’LL USE MY HEART’S LOVE TO, BEAT EM DOWN
