From the recording Lipstick Smears & War Machines
Sometimes you just gotta stand tall against impossible odds...
Lyrics
Let's raise a glass to better daysBefore they took it all awayAnd watch the light cross the floorIn patterns that we've seen beforeWhere is the new worldThat we've waited for?Where are the heroesTo break down the door?
And I'm standing tallOn an open plainWhere the wind blows hardWith a driving rainWith the strength of tenIn my heart againWhile I build this house of strawIn a hurricane
Another time another placeAnother lost and desperate raceEnchanted by a distant starAll we'll be is all we areWho is this saviorThat we've waited for?Who promised us heavenAnd said nothing more?
And I'm standing tallOn an open plainWhere the wind blows hardWith a driving rainWith the strength of tenIn my heart againWhile I build this house of strawIn a hurricane
DanceOf the puppetsIs all that we seeOn the screenWho is the manHolding the wires?Bringing rumors of warAnd unholy fires
Where is the new worldThat we've waited for?Where are the heroesTo break down the door?
And I'm standing tallOn an open plainWhere the wind blows hardWith a driving rainWith the strength of tenIn my heart againWhile I build this house of strawIn a hurricane
