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
