The Higher You Climb — текст песни (Tasmin Archer)

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
