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
