Song Lyrics
Dignity
Verse One
You can build a tower of lies,
A miriad of alibis,
And I would take all I could buy
And choose to be so blind.
I'd close my eyes, try not to see
The truth that's right in front of me,
Pretend the pretty words you speak
Are really what you mean.
Chorus
Give me back the dignity you stole from me,
The way you made me beg, the way you made me weak,
The humiliation of being on my knees,
Give back my self-respect, return my dignity.
Verse Two
If I could have but one more day,
I'd barter all my life away,
Sell all the progress I have made
And more if you would stay.
Chorus
Give me back the dignity you stole from me,
The way you made me beg, the way you made me weak,
The humiliation of being on my knees,
Give back my self-respect, return my dignity.
Give me back the dignity you stole from me,
The way you made me beg, the way you made me weak,
The humiliation of being on my knees,
Give back my self-respect, return my dignity.
(break)
Verse Three
A hundred days, a hundred years,
A thousand lies, a thousand tears,
A life of hopes, a life of fears,
Still I'll be waiting here.
Chorus
Give me back the dignity you stole from me,
The way you made me beg, the way you made me weak,
The humiliation of being on my knees,
Give back my self-respect, return my dignity.
Give me back the dignity you stole from me,
The way you made me beg, the way you made me weak,
So humiliated, I'm crawling on my knees,
Give back my self-respect, return my dignity!
(ending break)
Verse Four
A hundred days, a hundred years,
Too many lies, too many tears,
But when you're ready, calm my fears,
And maybe I'll be here.
