I'm higher than the sun
I'm climbing on the sky
I never meant to shine, I wasn't born to rise
But since i've got the chance,
I'll drive my feelings out, out, out
And I shall leave the trace that you would learn about
Everyone would say that they're so sorry
It's just a question of national glory, hon, hon, hon, hon,
Mothers and fathers and all their friends,
They were coming up and shaking hands for fun, fun, fun, fun
Now anything you turn you gaze upon either says goodbye, or laughs
Or turns to stone, stone, stone, stone
And when they carve a name on your back, it's not out of hatred,
It's out of neglect, boy, boy, boy
I'm higher than the sun,
I'm burning in its light,
I never ever tried, I'm not the chosen one
But since i've got the chance,
I'll drive my feelings out, out, out
And I shall leave the trace that you would learn about,
Everyone would say that they're so sorry
It's just a question of national glory, hon, hon, hon, hon,
Mothers and fathers and all their friends,
They were coming up and shaking hands for fun, fun, fun, fun
Now anything you turn you gaze upon either says goodbye, or laughs
Or turns to stone, stone, stone, stone
And when they carve a name on your back, it's not out of hatred,
It's out of neglect, boy, boy, boy.
Everyone would say that they're so sorry,
It just a question of national glory.
And when they carve a name on your back,
Out of neglect, boy, boy, boy.
