Side by side
We sat and stared
The stars and moon
Held their own
Long enough
To read our dreams
And hear this cause
To turn their heads
And laugh at us
So say your prayers
Rise and fall
I've heard enough
Rise and fall
I'm high enough
Rise and fall
To know you weren't made for
Rise and fall
For greater things
Rise and fall
For better lives
Rise and fall
For anything but what you see
Then one by one
They left their posts
And satellites
Filled the holes
To bring us down
Rise and fall
I've heard enough
Rise and fall
I'm high enough
Rise and fall
To know you weren't made for
Rise and fall
For greater things
Rise and fall
For better lives
Rise and fall
For anything but what you see
Don't doubt me
Don't hold me
Don't write me off
You're sorry
Forgive me
I'm not your pawn
So grab my hand
And listen close
Near or far
Set your goals
Cuz they don't know
Rise and fall
I've heard enough
Rise and fall
I'm high enough
Rise and fall
To know you weren't made for
Rise and fall
For greater things
Rise and fall
For better lives
Rise and fall
For anything but what you see
