Rise up, rise up
Don't you look down
Eyes shut, eyes shut
Why look around?
High up, high up
You can't see the ground
Hold tight on my cuff
We'll never drown
I can't sit and listen to the waves hit
I don't want the rhythm to keep changing
I ain't saying nature isn't sacred
But I just want to listen to the same thing
Hands holding hands
You holding me
More I want more
I want to be free
Neighbors and friends
Holding me, holding you
We can escape
But what would we do?
I don't want to spend my whole life waiting
But I guess I need a system to be brave in
They say as you get deeper things start fading
The brightest colors haze into a gray blend
My love, my love
Please stick around
If our time is up
I'm going down
My kin, my kin
Don't leave me alone
Even if I could swim
I wouldn't know where to go
