Here I stand and nothing could bring me down
On a mount I'm far from level ground
Hear the sounds and voices of untold
No one has me, no one could even hold
Used to be I saw the light and nothing was in my way
Since I've given up the fight it's brighter every day
Now it's time for us to be at rest
We tried our hardest, we've been put through the test
We gave our lives to our country and then fate
To have our courage look often intimate
Used to be I saw the light and nothing was in my way
Since I've given up the fight it's brighter every day
Don't tell me stories of untold
Courage and pride for the brave and bold
Don't tell me stories of what you've seen
It's my life and girl that's where I've been
Here I stand and nothing could bring me down
On a mount I'm far from level ground
Hear the sounds and voices of untold
No one has me, no one could even hold
