lyrics

I will not walk like a broken man
For the world to see it won
I'll just straighten up my shoulders and
Bear the weight of what I've done
And I will not falter, will not fail
I'll just give it all I can
It's a long, long road through the rain and hail
But I will not walk like a broken man

I've seen this world break better men
Til all their hopes are crushed
And their expectations lie in rags
With their dreams ground down to dust
But I've come this far on will alone
And it made me who I am
I feel every mile in my aching bones
But I will not walk like a broken man

Let me hear you singing: 'Hey now, hey now'
I'm gonna shout it out loud
Cos their ain't a nothing wrong with being poor and proud
And let me hear you singing: 'Hey now, hey now'
I'm giving all that I can
And I will not walk like a broken man
