The Higher You Climb

The higher you climb, the further you fall

And the harder you try, well, 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 the right track

I read the news today, a land was blown away

I understand it's out of my hands

But I would lay down my life for you if you'd guarantee

That you and all your kind would not abuse it

The higher you climb, the further you fall

And the harder you try, well, 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 the right track

I'm scared to watch TV because of what it does to me

It leaves me feelin' helpless

But I would sacrifice the things I hold so dear in life

If you would tell me it would not be useless

The higher you climb, the further you fall

And the harder you try, well, 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 the right track

And when I sleep at nights, another nation rise

To carry on the fight for freedom

They dedicate their lives, a supreme sacrifice

For simple human rights and freedom

Higher you climb, the further you fall

And the harder you try, well, 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 the right track

Ooh, yeah

The higher you climb, the further you fall

Ooh, yeah

Higher you climb, the further you fall

And the harder you try, well, 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 the right track

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

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

The further you fall, the further you fall

Further, further, further, further, further, further you fall

Ooh, further, further, further, further, further, further, further

Further, further, further

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
