Standing Tall

Standing Tall Let me down easy Break my fall Give me a chance to leave Standing tall Don’t break my spirit Don’t cause me pain Don’t play me like A Championship game Don’t leave me thirsty In the burning sand Don’t reach and then let go Of my hand Put aside Your foolish pride Free the demons You like to hide Escape the trap That threatens to close Around the deceit Right under your nose It’s a pity When someone falls And prevents others And From standing tall
