When you climb the hill of vision
As above so it was below
Through the apathy and derision
Each step ascending into [?]
And when they pin you in the corner
Pay no heed to their droning on
'Cause you're not going back where you don't belong
Well you rose up through the ranks now
And you worked hard for your luck
You've only got yourself to thank now
You and everybody else in the book
And there are hidden hands to guide you
The forces now at play
But you've got to learn to get out of the way
Oh no, don't settle
Oh whoa, not yet
Oh-oh, don't settle
For less
May your song ring true and bright now
And behold by your might
As the day gives way to night now
May it echo true and loud
And when they turn your words against you
Try to grind you to the ground
Let them know that they might beat you
But they'll never turn you around
Oh no, don't settle
Oh woah, not yet
Oh-oh, don't settle
For less
Well you swore no one's allegiance
You're a coward by no one's hand
You outgrew your apses
With your own corner of the land
And when they set their sight upon you
Come to mine this seam you struck
May you bid them well and wish them luck
Oh no, don't settle
Oh woah, not yet
Oh-oh, don't settle
And don't forget
What Liam Clancy said
"No envy, no anger, no cruelty, no regrets
No jealousy, no anger , no confusion, don't forget
No, no anger, no incredulity, show respect
No envy, no anger, no judgement on the one lest you forget
Lest you forget what they did to you
Why mess up your allegiance until the end
Cry out and see it
No envy, no anger, no judgement on the one lest you forget
Lest you forget, my love
Cry it loud until the end"
'Cause you're not going back where you don't fit
