Rise and Fall

Verse 1

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

Chorus

(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

Verse 2

Then one by one
They left their posts
And satellites
Filled the holes
To bring us down

Chorus

(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

Bridge

Don’t doubt me
Don’t hold me
Don’t write me off

You’re sorry
Forgive me
I’m not your pawn

Verse 3

So grab my hand
And listen close
Near or far
Set your goals
Cuz they don’t know

Chorus

(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
