Standing Tall

Walls come tumbling down

And new walls will be built

Some day you must forgive

All those who are full of guilt

A flower blooms in spring

And withers in the fall

But I'm standing tall

Rain in cloudy skies

We'll soon be washed away

And through the darkest night

I see the light of day

Someday with all my pride

I say that through it all

I was standing tall

When, like a leaf, I trembled

And fell down to the ground

You picked me up and helped me

Like you never let me down

And now that I can trust you

Once and for all

'Cause you and me are standing tall

As tall as a tree in a winter storm

As tall as the knot

When the new baby's born

I'll be your ship

Through high and low tide

As tall as a rock

I will be by your side

And just like a mountain

I'll be standing tall

Walls come tumbling down

And new walls will be built

Some day you must forgive

All those who are full of guilt

A flower blooms in spring

And withers in the fall

But I'll be standing tall
