Rise - Building 429
What's a boy supposed to see
When he's staring in the mirror at age 13
Where's the man that he wants to be
He must be hiding behind the lies that he's too
Weak
I was there when they pushed you down
Wiped the blood from your knees when you got up
Off the ground
Cuz no one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw the man you'd be
When they laughed at the awkward kid
No one else believed that you could fly
They couldn't see the man you'd be
But it's wonderful to watch you rise
To watch you rise
What could help him understand
When he's staring at the scars in my eyes gentle
Hands
Where's the mercy that he needs
It must be hiding behind the curtain makes them
Bleed
I was there when they pushed you down
Wiped the blood from your knees when you got up
Off the ground
Cuz no one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw the man you'd be
When they laughed at the awkward kid
No one else believed that you could fly
They couldn't see the man you'd be
But it's wonderful to watch you rise
Watch you rise
I was there when they crowned you king
Wiped the blood from your feet as you hung on
The tree
Cuz no one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw you in the child
As they laughed at his awkwardness
No one else believed that you could fly
They couldn't see the man you'd be
But it's wonderful to watch you rise
To watch you rise
Well watch you rise
Well watch you rise
Well just watch you here rise
Well watch you rise
