Rise

Can I heal now
I know you can't tell
But I've been loud
That's how I get down
Til I get crowned
The feelings all around
Can you feel the speed of sound
Moving through your frown
When the water starts falling
Beginnings in the end
It's our time now so we need to not pretend
The one to roll the dice
Might be in paradise
But little do they know that they've yet to pay the price
Do you see now
Do you hear now
We can be proud
And go without doubt
I have no doubt
That we'll make it out
Make it out alive
Make it in time
Take it in stride
It's the time to decide
So rise
It's the time to decide
So rise
And we all try to fly
Reaching for the stars that pass us by
Fly around this world that slowly dies
While we make up our minds
What's the truth in you and I
And we all try to fly
Reaching for the stars that pass us by
Fly around this world that slowly dies
While we make up our minds
What's the truth in you and I
It's the pressure
The lecture
Write it in my ledger
Let the feelings fester 'til they fall like flying feathers
Or you measure
The distance
Make some bad decisions
Drop off in an instant
Looking like the villain but I'm kidding
I don't need to hear the back talk
You can talk to my back as I walk off
You can signal your back up to walk up
And I'll tell them all its time for them to cough up
Pay your dues
Are you reading the news
Or do you get it off of twitter while you're drinking some brews
It's time to get some work done
Let me pop on my boots
Catch me out of town on my horse out on the loose
While you snooze
I don't need the detours
I've spent all my time always so bored
Now it's time for me to write up my own recourse
Get on the move so I don't lose when I'm supposed to hit my cue
If that's wrong
Then do I know what's right
But I feel it when I write
All my feelings come to light
Always makes me take to flight
And I meant to leave a memo before I left
Was it a test
Am I part of the rest who couldn't get it off their chest
Well maybe one day you won't think of me much less
And we all try to fly
Reaching for the stars that pass us by
Fly around this world that slowly dies
While we make up our minds
What's the truth in you and I
And we all try to fly
Reaching for the stars that pass us by
Fly around this world that slowly dies
While we make up our minds
What's the truth in you and I
