The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I was down and came to you
What would you say what would you do?
I can sit here and die away
You said you came to help and stay
I don't wanna seem weak, I don't wanna seem down
I'm gonna rise up and stand on my own ground
Dumma dumma dumma dum dum, dum dum dum
Dumma dumma dumma dum dum, dum dum dum
Stand on my own ground, stand on my own ground
I find my strength in simple things
Things that in nature and birds that sing
Had to realise what I had to do
And that involved fleeing far from you
I don't wanna seem weak, I don't wanna seem down
I'm gonna rise up and stand on my own ground
