As a wave,
Across the land,
We are moving, moving...
Save no face,
The change these bodies make,
And the way they are,
Facing forward,
Shoulder to the stone,
Tellin of movin it...
Takes one step,
Takes your voice,
Takes your voice, saying:
I am not hearing if you are not naming it,
I am not stopping if you are not changing it,
Here are my hands,
Let's see what they're making!
In the morning,
In the rise up,
There's a bridge,
From all it's been,
In the dawning,
The vines are,
Pushing through the pavement.
We were born of burning hearts,
We are tearing off the reigns,
From the ground up we will build it,
From clouds above we'll reign it,
From the crowd up we will raise it,
From the ground up...
You hold the spade,
To turn new soil...
For the coming grace,
You hold the plans...
No hands but our hands,
Will lead our children,
All that will feed you,
Is a fierce prayer,
Is a fierce prayer, saying:
I am not hearing if you are not naming it,
I am not stopping if you are not stopping it,
Here are my hands,
Let's see what they're making!
In the morning,
In the rise up,
There's a bridge,
From all of its been,
In the dawning,
The vines are,
Pushing through the pavement.
We were born of burning hearts,
We are tearing off the reigns,
From the ground up we will build it,
From the clouds above we'll reign it,
From the croud up we will raise it,
From the ground up...
In this life we,
See so many things and,
Sometimes our heart may start to bleed a bit,
But I choose this,
Life I'm gonna lead and,
I must give my hands,
To make it.
In the morning,
In the rise up,
There's a bridge,
From all that's been,
In the dawning,
The vines are,
Pushing through the pavement.
From the ground up we will build it,
From the clouds above we'll reign it,
From the crowd up we will will raise it,
From the ground up we will build it,
WE WERE BORN OF BURNING HEARTS From the clouds above we'll reign it,
From the crowd up we will raise it,
From the ground up we will build it,
From the clouds above we'll reign it,
WE WERE BORN OF BURNING HEARTS From the crowd up we will raise it,
From the ground up we will build it,
From the clouds above we'll reign it,
From the crowd up we will raise it,
From the ground up we will build it,
From the clouds above we'll reign it,
From the ground up...
