Upstream

Measure it up in gold or silver
It ain´t worth it.
A burden forces too low
It´s hard to crawl up all alone.

This path took me to shore
No canoe, no way to go.
This water embitters me
Don´t wanna loose my dignity.

Who wants to deceive
Play this game too far too real?
I want back old days
I will find another way

Who wants to deceive
Swim this river upstream?
My clothes are made of stone
I will go down alone.

My footsteps are left in history
I made them running away
Now it´s easy to stay and wait

I decorated myself
Got new paint, got new gate
This house is ready for more
Welcome and hit the door!
