VERSE 1
I’ve seen Eagles, I’ve seen Lights
I’ve seen Nothing turn into Right
I’ve heard the Bardos, I’ve felt the Rain
My soul’s been Lifted, beyond the Pain.

I’m Still Standing
On Top of the Hill
I’m Still Fighting
Cause no-one else will.

VERSE 2
I’ve cried in Kenya, I’ve fallen to my Knees
Lord have Mercy, Help me if you Please
Then I heard Voices, in dark Places
I’ve seen Angels, in children’s Faces.

I’m Still Standing
On Top of the Hill
I’m Still Fighting
Cause no-one else will.

VERSE 3
I am Experienced, I’ve felt the Fire
All through my Body, burning up Desire
Seventy years have, Come and gone
I’m still Fighting, I’m still Strong.

I’m Still Standing
On Top of the Hill
I’m Still Fighting
Cause no-one else will.
