Iris, Donnie - The High And The Mighty Lyrics






Get on your feet
Raise your hand
To the leader of the band
He's got the beat
He's got the plan
Can you feel it? (Yes we can)

Out in the street
Across the land
We the people take a stand

We're the high and the mighty, mighty
We're the high and the mighty, mighty

We the people sing a song
For the weak ones and the strong
For the right ones and the wrong
All the people sing a long

We played the game of give and take
We will bend but never break

We're the high and the mighty, mighty
We're the high and the mighty, mighty

We got guts
We got style
And we'll go the extra mile

Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
Spread your wings
Spread the news

We're the high and the mighty, mighty
We're the high and the mighty, mighty
We're the high and the mighty, mighty
We're the high and the mighty, mighty

    He always played in the WDVE charity jam in the 80s and 90s they had once a year near Christmas at Nicks Fat City. I never missed any, and in my opinion it was the best rock and roll deal I could get, because they had him, Clark's, BE Taylor, and a whole bunch of other well known ones, for a fairly decent price. Although I don't think he ever did this song there.

  3. b.... ....

    I was at the old Stanley theater in Pittsburgh in January of 1983 when the gateway drumline played this song with him

  4. H.... F....

    Remember the band members all with drums coming to the front of the stage playing an extended version of the intro. Definitely, the best of times.

    H.... F....

    YES! He opened the show at Pitt with the extended version around 1984. I still talk about how awesome it was...

  5. D.... J....

    Groundbreaking stuff. I was really flashed after finding this record in a bargain bin in good ol' germany some decades ago. Man, would you believe this smart guy can hit it that hard. Simply wonderful!

  6. a.... ....

    Watch the movie "Private School" starring Phoebe Cates and in one scene when she is on the phone with her boyfriend, you can see this poster on her wall!!

  7. K.... U....

    I've had to have this album recorded onto a CD specifically so I could rock out in my car.Had it for 17 years.

    K.... U....

    The car or the CD?

  8. T.... R....

    this song kicks ass!!!!!

    T.... R....

    one of the most underrated songs ever. never play it live either

  9. w.... ....

    DarwinNebraska-thank you so very much for this and not only featuring the hits,but the lesser-known Donnie Iris gems as well! You wouldn't believe how happy I was to find this page!!

  10. b.... ....

    I met Donnie after a show 3 or 4 years ago. I told him this was one of my favorites. He laughed and said " man, we haven't done that one in years." What a truly personable and gracious individual. I  have seen him since and he keeps getting better! If you have the opportunity to see him, do it. You won't be disappointed. 

    b.... ....

    Yes he is a great guy-I interviewed Donnie for a magazine I was working for and he  was so Down-to-Earth,you wouldn't have guessed he was a star!! Does an outstanding live show,too!!

    b.... ....

    I saw him at a show once myself and he was all by himself looking around and I asked him why he didn't play it. ..forget what he said. .something about it being hard to pull off live. ..

  11. M.... C....

    I've seen Donnie & The Cruisers
     at least a dozen times over the years, and I've never seen him do this live either.  I always thought it was one of their best songs, and am surprised it never was a single.

  12. j.... c....

    awesome tune

  13. f.... ....

    Thank you for this!

  14. C.... ....

    Very rare rock....thanks for posting
