Oh, got my hands tied 'round my back
And time put a rope around my head
And hung from the rafters of my fear
Dark in the eyes
Tryna face the world, I can't bare to
My knees hit the ground and my hands start shakin
Old feelings from new faces
A rope on the floor and a poor man hangin[Chorus]
Please help me chop this tree down
Hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me
I've seen an ocean run away
I'm torn from the truth that holds my soul
I'm down in the grave where I belong
Oh, what a ride
I dare to fight, my devil
Wings to the sky on the run from trouble
With my own hands, no shovel
I dug in the ground, now I'm hanging above sayin[Chorus]Please help me chop this tree down
Hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me
[Bridge]
Down by the grave that law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
Down by the grave that law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
*When the sun went down
Down by the grave that law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
*It set the sky on fireDown by the grave that law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
*I saw an angel flyDown by the grave that law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved
*I never felt so highDown by the grave that law man laid
When the gravel got paved, finally I'm saved[Chorus]Please help me chop this tree down
Hold me from underneath
Words never once cut me down
Oh, don't you cry for me
