The High Road

I’m stuck in defiance. Been boiling my rage By burning the quotes from the ancient scrolls From faith and by science my coming of age My rise or my downfall? Got nearly blind trading eye for an eye I need twenty digits for keeping the score Still can't reconcile, so I'm ending the fight I'm done with the stupid war Time to forget who was right, who was wrong Time to move on! I take the high road, I take the high road We're going high if they're going low. Mercy to villains, peace to destroyers They used to beat us, soon they will join us I take the high road, I take the high road Towards the light - so lighten the load! I see the light, and that's a good omen There's no darkness where I’m going My little toy gun, and my wooden horse My hand drawn target for training my aim I've done what I've done - for better or worse But I've outgrown this game It's never too late to forgive and to heal For both you and me, 'cause neither's a saint This isn't a trade, I'm not striking a deal I'm just giving you my hand Time to forget who has lost, who has won Time to move on! I got past my fear I got the field leveled And now my path is clear It is the road less travelled I take the high road, I take the high road We're going high if they're going low Mercy to villains, peace to destroyers They used to beat us, soon they will join us I take the high road, I take the high road Towards the light - so lighten the load! I see the light, and that's a good omen There's no darkness where I’m going
