	Story Behind the Song On a wintry afternoon in my room I happened upon a chord combination that was solid and along with that some words popped into my head that just so happened to fit. The song is once again about loss and rejection, and is (like all pitfall tunes) somewhat warped and fairly dark. It's a highly emotional song and the lyrics are depressed and quite powerful (for me at least). Lyrics Courage of the Highest Strand Lyrics by Mike Rybak Courage of the highest strand Can’t seem to find where to stand I’m so lost, no place is home I Just can’t seem to let go No light in this tunnel Life blood down a funnel Broken hearted once again I can’t seem to play the game Put myself out on the line The whole world seemed to be mine Then everything, it fell apart And now I’ve got a shot out heart The wind cuts into me cold and fast No happiness can seem to last I walk all alone in the pouring rain All I get’s a stabbing pain Won’t go away Eyes in the dark but I can’t see Man without a spark But he can’t be Love, it’ll kill you right off Even the true Get double crossed Headed in directions unknown I’ll just turn my heart to stone What’s the use when it’s just me The Blind lead the blind so we can’t see I walk alone down empty streets The cruel world will make you bleed Something is missing from my soul I can’t seem to fill that gaping Hole Eyes in the dark but I can’t see Man without a spark But he can’t be Love, it’ll kill you right off Even the true Get double crossed Courage of the highest strand Won’t you save this broken man A windswept desert is my life I’m just a torn old paper knife Night falls down it won’t lift Too much heartache to sift I don’t know if I can stand Courage of the highest strand
