Texty: Tasmin Archer. 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
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
