Up On That Hill Lyrics - All Fall Down - Shawn Colvin

The blood that run your veins 

Of all that you are made 

It didn't start with you 

As much as you would like it to 

The path they set you on 

Your battles lost and won 

The fakin' and the show 

And all you thought you wanted 

All them things you think you want 

[Chorus:] 

And in the land where all are mourning 

You hear the band you hear them call 

You can be happy 

You can be happy 

You stood up on that hill 

You thought you'd had your fill 

Didn't want no pedestal 

But mark my words you will 

You heard your story told 

You felt you were getting old 

You thought it time to go 

But you couldn't find no share of gold 

That set you back on down the road 

[Chorus] 

So take your hopes and woes 

Take your bruised ego 

Light a fire here 

Where the air is clear 

Or take your sorrow, man 

To your selfish land 

Run your poor mouth there 

See if they care 

[Chorus]
