Standing High -

I turned my back and you were everywhere

The paper and the screen, the signals in the air

That dirty sound that tried to silence you

Will fade away while your voice comes shining, shining through

You ripped them all to shreds

the morning that you said

I’d rather die standing high

than live crawling down on my knees under a falling sky

Your epitaph, the mocking lithograph

will raise a million brows 1000 years from now

The fighter fights for death and ugly war

This writer writes so he just might unlock these stubborn doors

You ripped them all to shreds

the morning that you said

I’d rather die standing high

than live crawling on my knees underneath a falling sky

Bewildered boys and girls and their sacrifice

pushing us under a veil

Stand high and our hearts will beat together

freedom and love will prevail

I turned my back and you were everywhere

The paper and the screen, the signals in the air

The dirty sound that tried to silence you

Will fade away while your voice comes shining through

You ripped them all to shreds

the morning that you said

I’d rather die standing high

than live crawling down on my knees under a falling sky

You’re standing high

You’re standing higher than high

You’re standing higher than high
