It's a long way back where I fallen from
It's a fair hard fall, it's a very cruel town
And my dress is tore, and I got no jewels
And I'm hungry for life a little less cruel
Some dignity and not too much sorrow
And just a little bit of hope
Hold out for tomorrow

Oh I don't care what it takes, my friends
I'll never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don't care what I have to defend
I'll never go hungry, go hungry again

It's a long ride home
And my headache's back
And you're no comfort to me now
And it's fully loaded and it's set on stone
At least I know that I have won
And my ways aren't crooked
And I got no shoes
I run back and forth and I wait for you

Oh I don't care what it takes, my friends
I'll never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don't care what I have to pretend
I'll never go hungry, go hungry again

And out of it all I have survived
From the fires of hell, I am alive
Sin, it cost your spirit
Survived this mess you've made
Oh God can you hear us?
In my salvation day
And it's time for me, yeah, to take a stand
And it's time for me, yeah, to be a man

Oh I don't care what it takes, my friends
I'll never go hungry, go hungry again
Oh and I don't care what I have to pretend
I'll never go hungry, go hungry again

And a phoenix she rises
She is short to descend
She will never hungry, go hungry again

And you're looking to me
More and more like a godsend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again

And we owe each other nothing
There's no one left here to offend
We will never go hungry, go hungry again
