lyrics

Say what you want but we all know now we’ve found out
Is this what you want but we can be loud now it’s out?
We won’t hold back, we feel it
We are airborne, we fly
Let’s all lean in this moment, uprise.

You could be the hero covered
Covered in the pieces that we all leave behind
Well you know we all got problems
All you do is preach but you can’t act your mind
Stop and take look at all your lying
Yes you’re all talk, you don’t do anything kind
So are you here to keep the people quiet?
I’m sick of hearing all the little things you ain’t done 
So what’s the point if we all know how this ends up?
Well it’s the love in your heart that we need now, wake up
We won’t hold back, we feel it
We are still here, alive
Let’s all take in the moment, decide.

You could be the hero covered
Covered in the pieces that we all leave behind
Well you know we all got problems
All you do is preach but you can’t act your mind
Stop and take look at all your lying
Yes you’re all talk, you don’t do anything kind
So are you here to keep the people quiet?
I’m sick of hearing all the little things you ain’t done

So what’s the point if we all know how this ends up?
Well it’s the love in your heart that we need now, wake up.
