In Kiwira-Standing Tall

you can never stand tall
if you think you are short
and that's when your back starts to hurt
don't become like him
he fell in love with the picture
instead of the real thing
i never believed it
till it happened to me
hypocrites are quick to judge
the storm hits
feels like the beginning of the end of time
i've stuggled as hard as i could
to get rid of my past fears.
