Tasmin Archer - The Higher You Climb lyrics

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
