|
the higher you climb |
|
the further you fall |
|
and the harder you try |
|
the louder they cry |
|
i don't know why |
|
but it's written in my hand |
|
and i can see what is right |
|
if i stay on track |
|
i read the news today |
|
a land was blown away |
|
i understand it's out of my hands |
|
but i would lay my life down for you |
|
if you'd guarantee |
|
that you and all your kind would not abuse it |
|
i'm scared to watch tv |
|
because of what it does to me |
|
it leaves me feeling helpless |
|
but i would sacrifice the things i hold so dear in life |
|
if you would tell me it would not be useless |
|
and when i sleep at night |
|
another nation rise |
|
to carry on the fight for freedom |
|
they dedicate their lives |
|
a supreme sacrifice |
|
for simple human rights and freedom |
|
the wiser you are |
|
the harder you'll find it |
|
to follow a path that won't lead to decline |
|
i'll make my stand |
|
because it's written in the stars |
|
and i can see what is right |
|
if i stay on the right track |
