In the valley of decision I decided today To cross that river that was in my way Well you see all the river only run into the sea But I still have to cross for I to be free Breaking down the high place I can't stand the system Pullin' down the high place Where life is funnier than fiction, woy Breakin' down the high place I can't stand the system Pullin' down the high place Where life is funnier than fiction, woy And dem are rivers to cross in this cold, clean land I saw the poison of the heart in a many of the men And I see one river lost and it drowning me The feeling of defeat in my victory Breaking down the high place I can't stand the system Pullin' down the high place Where life is funnier than fiction, woy Breaking down the high place I can't stand the system Pullin' down the high place Where life is funnier than fiction, woy We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high place We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high place We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high place We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high, high, high... Push up, push up, I need a magic carpet ride Dem politician on a mission tryin' to kill my life And I say "Why, oh, why do you a persecute me?" I have no wounds yet I still bleed We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high place We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high place We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high place We're breakin' down the high place We're pullin' down the high, high, high...
