High road

Take the higher road

Start limping

Walk long enough

And there will be no one

To walk along with

At least not long enough

And they will tell you to

Take the higher road again

And again

Until you can’t walk anymore

And they’ll tell you

They’re not as good as you are

Praise you for your choices

Smile as you struggle

Leave you paralysed

On a high road.
