Stand Deep Not Tall

stand deep not tall

let your energy be 
for the curse of humanity
cos it pays a legacy

you can't stand tall
when you are common
but you can stand taller 
when your words
and actions are deep
like a rare truth 

remembered you can 
always win any fight 
with the truth 

so stand deep 
their lies the height
the energy
above your dreams 
and fears 

if the tall could fall
hero's buried so quick
so why stand just tall
remember
the deeper the stronger

instead to stand tall
yet be blind 
stand deep
