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
