Everything is at its perfect, perfect best tonight
|
The black sky cracks when the stars, oh they all just fall apart
|
From this place we see the world, spinning slow tonight
|
Here is where I¡¯ll be when it all comes crashing down
|
|
Stand up and hold your head up high
|
I know you tried til the day you died
|
Maybe no-one knows your name
|
They¡¯ll know it one day
|
I¡¯ll sing it to everyone I know
|
I know I¡¯ll sing it til the day I go
|
Maybe no-ones listening
|
|
Hey you, don¡¯t you know we won the war again
|
Get up, its late I¡¯m sure that there¡¯s no more fighting
|
Last time we stood alone like this
|
It meant nothing to us
|
I see what you meant when you said that there¡¯s hope in everyone
|
|
Stand up and hold your head up high
|
I know you tried til the day you died
|
Maybe noone knows your name
|
They¡¯ll know it one day
|
I sing it to everyone I know
|
I¡¯m gona sing it til the day I go
|
Maybe no-one¡¯s listening
|
They¡¯ll hear it one day
|
|
Stand up and hold your head up high
|
I know you¡¯ll try until the day you die
|
They¡¯ll never even know your name
|
