The Higher You Climb (Tasmin Archer)

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
