Don't Beat Me Down (不要将我打倒) - Gordon Lightfoot[00:00:00]

Oh when he was a man my father would stand[00:00:14]

I never saw him run[00:00:17]

There wasn't anyone could make the man bend[00:00:19]

The strength of his will was the tool of his trade[00:00:21]

And he did his work well[00:00:25]

Till the powers that be took a liking to him[00:00:27]

And they traded his body for a cold empty shell[00:00:30]

Don't beat me down[00:00:35]

Don't beat me down[00:00:42]

I've got something to say[00:00:49]

Don't you stand in my way[00:00:51]

And don't beat me down[00:00:53]

Oh when I was a youth I found the truth[00:01:00]

In the eyes of a friend[00:01:03]

There wasn't anyone could make the light dim[00:01:05]

And we talked and we rambled and we gambled to win[00:01:08]

And the learning was good[00:01:11]

Till the powers that be to a liking to him[00:01:13]

They traded their fortunes for the sight of his blood[00:01:16]

When I was a child and my mother smiled[00:01:21]

At the cradle she bought[00:01:24]

For the little tot she held to her breast[00:01:26]

And the song that she sang was an anthem to love[00:01:28]

It was all that I heard[00:01:32]

Till the powers that be took a liking to me[00:01:34]

And they told me that love was a four-letter word[00:01:37]

Don't beat me down[00:01:42]

Don't beat me down[00:01:49]

I've got one life to live[00:01:57]

And that's all I can give[00:01:58]

So don't beat me down[00:02:00]

And now I've got a place I got a worried face[00:02:08]

And a question in mind[00:02:11]

Please let me find a reason somehow[00:02:12]

Why some reap the harvest while other men die[00:02:15]

And the joker runs wild[00:02:19]

And if powers that be take a liking to us[00:02:20]

Then we all must return to the ways of a child[00:02:24]

We all must return to the ways of a child[00:02:27]

So don't beat me down[00:02:32]

Don't beat me down[00:02:40]

I've got something to say[00:02:47]

Don't you stand in my way[00:02:49]

And don't beat me down[00:02:52]

I've got one life to life[00:02:55]

And that's all I can give[00:02:57]

So don't beat me down[00:02:59]

Don't beat me down[00:03:03]

Don't beat me down[00:03:06]
