Just thought I'd create a topic for the lyrics of the songs of the new album, Child of the Universe
I've just tried to write down the lyrics for the songs we have heard so far. Still missing a few words/lines of some of them and it's very possible I haven't gotten every word right so feel free to help me out if you hear something that's still missing or I've gotten wrong!

CHILD OF THE UNIVERSE
I grew up to be myself
Still I feel there's something else
Look at all the satellites
Colliding in the sky
We meet and we divide
The patterns made by human life
Look at all the stars tonight
They're writing in the sky
Together we are all alone
All trying to make it home
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And the only thing you are is a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And with everything my freedom’s worth
I'll be a child of the universe
I am brave but I am scared
I am lonely but I'm prepared
We are all connected
Without knowing who we are
Together we are rolling stones
All trying to make it home
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And the only thing you are is a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And with everything my freedom’s worth
I'll be a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And the only thing you are is a child of the universe
In this world if it's the only thing I've ever learned
Is that everything you love can hurt
And with everything my freedom’s worth
I'll be a child of the universe
I'll be a child of the universe
Child of the universe
TOUCH
This is the home where, where my mother told me anything can happen
These are the pages where I kept my secrets underneath my bed
And a heart shaped necklace that my father bought me
Then there's the park bench where I gave my first kiss away
This is the bedroom that I painted purple when I first left home
There's the journey that my car would take me to my days at work
And the mountain I climbed after I fought the rain
This is the goodbye that I gave my best friend for the very last time
I said to myself, said to my lover
Everything feels your touch
Everything good, reaches another
You never can feel too much
Ai, ai, when a butterfly moves it’s wings
There’s a storm happening somewhere
This is the feeling that only you can give me and it gives me chills
This is the last time that I said I need you but I always will
There's an old song that when it comes on the radio
I've gotta pull over because it makes me feel like I'm home, I'm home, home
I said to myself, said to my lover
Everything feels your touch
Everything good, reaches another
You never can feel too much
Ai, ai, when a butterfly moves it’s wings
There’s a storm happening somewhere
Yes it does , feel your touch, yes it does, feel your touch, yes it does
Do you really have to ask me
And your love, and your love feels your touch and your love feels your touch
Did you hear it from somebody
I said to myself, said to my lover
Everything feels your touch
Everything good, reaches another
You never can feel too much
WISH YOU WERE HERE
I've been knock, knock, knocking at the thought of your door
But you're not, not, not here anymore
I ring, ring, ring you’re every phone in my head
But I can't get through, the connection is dead
I want, want to tell you about the news today
But you wouldn't believe me, you’d laugh it away
There's a ghost standing at the foot of my bed
And it's you, it's you, it's you
It was you they told me who was in trouble
I couldn't breathe on the other side of the world
And there was nothing I could do to help you
And it's true today would be your birthday
It would've been your 27th year
And I miss you in the earth's atmosphere
I wish you were here
I go back, back, back and every memory you're there
But the clock ticks over every minute we shared
On my knees begging for it not to be true
But it was you, it was you, it was you
It was you they told me who was in trouble
I couldn't breathe on the other side of the world
And there was nothing I could do to help you
And it's true today would be your birthday
It would've been your 27th year
And I miss you in the earth's atmosphere
I wish you were here
Instead of just in my dreams and in my imagination
Confusing me completely from another dimension
Can you see the beauty from a new beginning somewhere
Cause I feel like I won't repair with time
It was you, it was you, it was you
It was you they told me who was in trouble
I couldn't breathe on the other side of the world
And there was nothing I could do to help you
And it's true today would be your birthday
It would've been your 27th year
And I miss you in the earth's atmosphere
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
KNOCKED OUT
Pushed out from a standing start, forced to run
I was minding my own heart, before the gun
I'm the silence in the noise just trying to break through
Say it's only for the best so I can breathe
Phoenix buried in the mess inside of me
I don't understand the hurt or why you put it on me
So you be who you wanna be and I'll be me
When I get knocked out
Before you count to ten I'll get up again
And if I get knocked down
After I hit the floor I'll be coming back at you
Don't underestimate me
Be careful when you hate me
Don't underestimate me
When I get knocked out
I know where I wanna go, that's up to me
Might not be yet you know but I will be
There's always something in the way if you let it stop you
So you be who you wanna be and I'll be me
When I get knocked out
Before you count to ten I'll get up again
And if I get knocked down
After I hit the floor I'll be coming back at you
Don't underestimate me
Be careful when you hate me
Don't underestimate me
Say it's all just been a test to get back to me
Send an arrow where it hurts and I'll be okay
There's only one way I can live and that's my way
So you be who you wanna be and I'll be me
When I get knocked out
Before you count to ten I'll get up again
And if I get knocked down
After I hit the floor I'll be coming back at you
Don't underestimate me
Be careful when you hate me
Don't underestimate me
When I get knocked out
I'll be coming back at you
When I get knocked out
SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD
Waiting, watching, listening to every little sign I see
You are so bright, shining above all the city lights
You know it's right when all of the stars in the sky align
If you and I, we are together as one tonight
So get up, stand up
What you waiting for
Let's go jump in
We got to live life
Give in to begin
We gotta love like no one else
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Sitting on top, sitting on top of the world
Saved me from me
You gave me everything I need
You'll be forever in my heart
So get up, stand up
What you waiting for
Let's go jump in
We got to live life
Give in to begin
We gotta love like no one else
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Sitting on top, sitting on top of the world
All is quiet at night
We say only things for us to hear
So get up, stand up
What you waiting for
Let's go jump in
We got to live life
Give in to begin
We gotta love like no one else
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Now I'm with you
Sitting on top, sitting on top of the world
I’M NOT READY
I am broken
There’s a stranger on the phone
Something’s missing from seven years ago
You tell me baby, don’t you cry anymore
That’s the past and not what we’ve become but I know
I am shaking
Not a breath left to breathe
All this sadness so cold that I can’t speak
Look me in the eyes
You know it’s ok that we didn’t make it forever
Come hold my hand
Hold on to this last minute we have together
I’m not ready to say goodbye
You and god both know all the years I’ve tried
And if it’s over give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never gonna be
I’ll never be ready to say goodbye to you
Your bags are all packed
They’re waiting at the door
But it’s hard to imagine you won’t live here anymore
I’m scared of tomorrow and the emptiness to come
But I’ve changed for the better since I’ve known your love
So look me in the eyes
You know it’s ok that we didn’t make it forever
Come hold my hand
Let’s hold on to this last minute we have together
Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
You and god both know all the years I’ve tried
And if it’s over give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never gonna be
I’ll never be ready to say goodbye to you
I’ll never be ready
And even if we tried we would end up right back to this place together
This was not a lie, what we had will always be real love forever
Cause I’m not ready to say goodbye
You and god both know
All the years I’ve tried
And if it’s over give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never gonna be
I’m not ready to say goodbye
You and god both know
All the years I’ve tried
And if it’s over give me the strength to go
Cause I know I’m never gonna be
I’ll never be ready to say goodbye to you
I’ll never be ready
HUNTERS AND THE WOLVES
I fought for you, I went to war in a battle of two
So many years in solitary, captured by the enemy
I tried, I tried, everything just to survive
Living a lie for someone else who wouldn’t even save himself
What did I know, I had my eyes closed
For what it seemed like eternity
Those hungry eyes were praying on me
Didn’t you know, I wanted to go
I know you saw them wanting me and now I love them dangerously
The wolves come out, circling me
The hunters hunt, stamping their feet
We'll play my game of hide and seek
But who will it be
Who will it be
Now that I’m free
Let the wolf come and get me
I know for sure I’m ready now for so much more
And I’m not gonna fight it, the temperature is rising
I feel tonight the rhythm from the inside out
Or is it just there's someone who I want so bad instead of you
He makes me feel like my body’s alive
On fire with the wonder, reminds me I’m a lover
Cause your own pain is driving me insane
It’s killing me to tell you this
But you’ll hear it and you’ll know it’s true
The wolves come out, circling me
The hunters hunt, stamping their feet
We'll play my game of hide and seek
But who will it be
Who will it be
Now that I’m free
Let the wolves come and get me
Come and get, come and get, come and get me
Come and get, come and get, come and get me
The wolves come out, circling me
The hunters hunt, stamping their feet
We'll play my game of hide and seek
But who will it be
Who will it be
Now that I’m free
Let the wolves come and get me
DANCING WITH A BROKEN HEART
Held my breath as the last wave pulled me under, under
What doesn’t kill you makes you so much stronger, stronger
Can you feel this pain
Rushing through these veins
Driving me insane but I won’t break
I won’t look back tonight
This is the time of my life
Underneath these stars
Dancing with a broken heart
Fight fire with fire
The truth to a liar
I’m going higher
Dancing with a broken heart
I’m gonna bury all the past just six feet under under
I’m gonna make a storm from lightning and thunder, thunder
I won’t let dogs lie in the peace and quiet
Moving on to another time
I won’t look back tonight
This is the time of my life
Underneath these stars
Dancing with a broken heart
Fight fire with fire
The truth to a liar
I’m going higher
Dancing with a broken heart
Can you feel this pain
Rushing through these veins
Driving me insane but I won’t break
I won’t look back tonight
This is the time of my life
Underneath these stars
Dancing with a broken heart
Fight fire with fire
The truth to a liar
I’m going higher
I won’t look back tonight
This is the time of my life
Underneath these stars
Dancing with a broken heart
Fight fire with fire
The truth to a liar
I’m going higher
Dancing with a broken heart
HYPNOTIZED
Been living my life in commotion
Like all the colours, bruised and broken
Black cats and ladders, smoke and mirrors
Seven years of bad luck made it clearer
I woke up running with a pain in my heart
Can’t get there fast enough, yeah, fast enough
No matter what I do, I gotta get to you
Falling deeper in love, yeah, deeper in love
You have got my hypnotized
I lost control and now I’m tripping on this feeling, going out of my mind
I'm falling deeper in love, yeah, deeper in love with you
Like a spell I've fallen under
Intoxicating when you're closer
Shower me with confetti raining down from open skies
I'm gonna cut the strings off these balloon so watch them fly so high
I woke up running with a pain in my heart
Can’t get there fast enough, yeah, fast enough
No matter what I do, I gotta get to you
Falling deeper in love, yeah, deeper in love
You have got my hypnotized
I lost control and now I’m tripping on this feeling, going out of my mind
I'm falling deeper in love, yeah, deeper in love with you
I’m standing on the edge
Looking on this brave new world
Feeling vertigo, I take this step and just let go
Something’s got me mesmerized
Feels like I've been hypnotized
I woke up running with a pain in my heart
Can’t get there fast enough, yeah, fast enough
No matter what I do, I gotta get to you
Falling deeper in love, yeah, deeper in love
You have got my hypnotized
I lost control and now I’m tripping on this feeling, going out of my mind
I'm falling deeper in love, yeah, deeper in love with you
SAFE TO BELIEVE
She found a secret, hiding behind a closed door
No strength to believe it like a flame that can't burn anymore
A heart gripped with sadness, a fear that was hard to let go
Then she found an angel, the love that she’d never known
So lay with me
I've been so scared to breathe
You make it safe to believe in all that I am
And take my hand
Love me for who I am
Teach me to dream again
It's all that I need
You make it safe to believe
She had forgotten the beauty she lived in her dreams
Her heart had stopped hoping, broken by what she has seen
Then a chance constellation, a lighthouse as bright as the sun
Two hearts resonating, two lives now living as one
Lay with me
I've been so scared to breathe
You make it safe to believe in all that I am
And take my hand
Love me for who I am
Teach me to dream again
It's all that I need
And you make it safe
In the darkest times of your life
There's a spirit that hears your cry
Lay with me
I've been so scared to breathe
You make it safe to believe in all that I am
Lay with me
I've been so scared to breathe
You make it safe to believe in all that I am
And take my hand
Love me for who I am
Teach me to dream again
It's all that I need
You make it safe to believe
You make it safe to believe
THE SPEED OF LIFE
How many times can you say that it's over
How many ways can you say that I love you forever more
How many times can you make love with your lover
How many lives and many lies can we live with ourselves
How many times will you change your religion
And how many gods do you ask for the answers that grow in yourself
What has to break before you make a decision
Cause you never know which way to go, you just get off the bus and go home
God tell me the truth, how much is too many
Give me a sign if we've crossed the line
Cause everyone else seems to know the direction
I'm frozen, from not knowing
And I'm out of breath from the speed of life
And I'm shaking and it's racing
Cause I'm scared to death of the speed of life
The speed of life
How many dreams can you break till you're broken
How many fights can you fight til you fall down on your knees
How many doors can get slammed in your face till one of them opens
It's beautiful, it's incredible, it's the danger of life
God tell me the truth, how much is too many
Give me a sign if we've crossed the line
Cause everyone else seems to know the direction
I'm frozen, from not knowing
And I'm out of breath from the speed of life
And I'm shaking and it's racing
Cause I'm scared to death of the speed of life
And I'm shaking and it's racing
Cause I'm scared to death of the speed of life
The speed of life
The speed of life
WAR ON LOVE
So I stand on this hill with my flag held high
With the will to survive, bullets flying by
Broken hearts scattered on this battlefield
Holding out for something real
I won't give in, I won't give up
Fight for hope in this war on love
All the dust has settled
I can finally see
I’m crawling from the wreckage
It’s brought me to my knees
Deep inside there's a hunger
Waiting for something true
The light on the horizon
Unanswered prayers that long for someone like you
So I stand on this hill with my flag held high
With the will to survive, bullets flying by
Broken hearts scattered on this battlefield
Holding onto something real
I won't give in, I won't give up
Fight for hope in this war on love
I'm gonna hold my ground
A broken arrow in my hand
I’m gonna hold it high above
Yeah, I won't back down
I can see that the smoke is clearing
Distant thunder's passing by
Although my heart is calling out
Lets me know that I am still alive
So I stand on this hill with my flag held high
With the will to survive, bullets flying by
Broken hearts scattered on this battlefield
Holding onto something real
I won't give in, I won't give up
Fight for hope in this war on love
I’m calling out can you hear the sound
Of the drum that I'm beating strong and loud
So I stand on this hill with my flag held high
With the will to survive, bullets flying by
Broken hearts scattered on this battlefield
Holding out for something real
I won't give in, I won't give up
Fight for hope in this war on love
Fight for hope in this war on love
Fight for hope in this war on love
I won't give in, I won't give up
I fight for us in this war on love
I LOST ALL LOVE 4 YOU
When you walked into my life with your muddy shoes on and your baggage claim ticket one night
I thought it’d be ok cause there was something about you that made me feel somehow safe
I gave too much to you, you took it all away
And finally I had no more to give
So don’t try to come back and break me down
I am standing so much stronger now
I have lost my love, I have lost my love, I have lost my love for you
Every little bit, every part of it
There is nothing more to do
Oh I have lost my faith
I have lost my faith in everything you said was true
When the dust has settled down
I realized I lost all love for you
I lost my belief in your tired excuses and the reasons why you weren’t there
I cried myself to sleep but now I’m back on my feet, I don’t need anything more from you
So go live your life and find another wife
Take her to that stupid restaurant you like
I have lost my love, I have lost my love, I have lost my love for you
Every little bit, every part of it
There is nothing more to do
Oh I have lost my faith
I have lost my faith in everything you said was true
When the dust has settled down
I realized I lost all love for you
It’s the same old story
Now my life before me is beautiful
And it’s waiting for me
Cause I found myself, yeah I found myself
So I’ve learned a lot from you
I will never change, not for someone else
My own woman through and through
I have lost my love, I have lost my love, I have lost my love for you
Every little bit, every part of it
There is nothing more here to do
Oh I have lost my faith
I have lost my faith in everything you said was true
When the dust has settled down
I realized I lost all love for you
I lost all love for you
WHEN MY STARS COME OUT
Hey! Aim your gun and pull the trigger
I’m up and running like a river
Yeah, I’m already gone
Just when you think you know who I am
If you think I’m gonna keep on crying
Yeah, I’m already done
I smile when it’s the hardest time to smile
I climb when it’s the highest mountain to climb
Baby, baby when the sun goes down
That’s when my stars come out
Baby, baby when the sun goes down
That’s when my stars come out to shine
Hey! Should I let you go on lying
What’s the point of me denying
When I’ve already won
Hey! Maybe you should try to remember
You’re never gonna make me surrender
Cause I’ve already won
I smile when it’s the hardest time to smile
I climb when it’s the highest mountain to climb
Baby, baby when the sun goes down
That’s when my stars come out
Baby, baby when the sun goes down
That’s when my stars come out to shine
The sun sets, but it ain’t over yet
The sun sets, but it ain’t over yet
The sun sets, but it ain’t over yet
The sun sets
Baby, baby when the sun goes down
That’s when my stars come out
Baby, baby when the sun goes down
That’s when my stars come out to shine
When my stars come out
That’s when my stars come out
CONTROL
I woke up in our bed but you weren’t there
Some dreams start out as dreams and turn into nightmares
I've been screaming your name
But it’s always the same
And I can’t shut my mouth
And hope you’ll love me
I, I’ve been in this too long
When I know that it’s wrong to be here
Tonight, I’ve decided you know
I’m taking back control
Watch as you leave
Ache to your soul
Baby, I’m taking back control
Control
You had every chance to make it right
You know I've loved you more than anyone else in life
I’m not yours anymore
I’ll pick up my tears up off the floor
‘Cause baby you had my heart and I’m taking it back
I, I’ve been in this too long
When I know that it’s wrong to be here
Tonight, I’ve decided you know
I’m taking back control
Watch as you leave
Ache to your soul
Baby, I’m taking back control
Control
Control
So may I remind you who I was before you
I, I’ve been in this too long
When I know that it’s wrong to be here
Tonight, I’m just letting you know
I’m taking back, I’m taking it back, taking it back, I’m taking it back
Taking it back, taking it back, I’m taking it back
Tonight, I’m just letting you know
I’m taking back control
Watch as you leave
Ache to your soul
Baby, I’m taking back control
Control
Baby, I’m taking back control
Control
ALCOHOL
You fall asleep with the damage in the room
And I can’t escape the stranger living under your skin
Who’s this I see
You’re not the man that fell in love with me
I can’t pretend anymore
It’s tragic like when a Shakespeare play comes to the end
It’s intoxicating me
So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming round your head
Drowning out the days
That we made love
It’s all in my heart
And I’m losing all control
Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol
To the alcohol
The dreams we had
They build me up and knock me round
I can’t decide whether it’s better to let you fall down
I’m not so good with your self-inflicted pain
I can’t pretend anymore
You’re tragic and it’s a Shakespeare play come to the end
You’re gonna die from what you need
So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming round your head
Drowning out the days
That we made love
It’s all in my heart
And I’m losing all control
Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol
White ghost
A vision of yourself
A fraction of yourself
It’s the other side of you
While I was suffocating and feeling isolated
I never see your truth anymore
So go ahead, take her to your bed
Tell her all your fears and let her kiss your lips
Dead, swimming round your head
Drowning out the days
That we made love
It’s all in my heart
And I’m losing all control
Cause you gave away your soul to the alcohol
NO COMMUNICATION
There’s a hand over my mouth
So I can’t speak, speak to you
I’m tied, tied up in chains
And what remains is the silence
I feel the night around my days
As if the cold is here to stay
There are hands over my eyes
So I can’t see what you’re trying to do to me
I can’t tell you what you want to know
I can’t tell you all you need to hear
Cause there’s no communication
I can’t let you crawl inside my dreams
I can’t tell you all my hopes and fears
Cause there’s no communication here
There’s no communication here
There are tongues that twist and turn
That twist my words until I don’t know them
You lie in black and white
And steal the night shackles me frozen
I call your name
But you’re not there
I’m not insane
The water protect my heart and mind from you
I can’t tell you what you want to know
I can’t tell you all you need to hear
Cause there’s no communication
I can’t let you crawl inside my dreams
I can’t tell you all my hopes and fears
Cause there’s no communication here
There’s no communication
There’s no communication
There’s no communication
There’s no communication
I can’t tell you what you want to know
I can’t tell you all you need to hear
Cause there’s no communication here
I can’t tell you what you want to know
I can’t tell you all you need to hear
Cause there’s no communication
I can’t let you crawl inside my dreams
I can’t tell you all my hopes and fears
Cause there’s no communication
I can’t tell you what you want to know
I can’t tell you all you need to hear
Cause there’s no communication here

UNCOVERED
How do I begin again
Let my heart just breathe it in
Show the world that I’m alive
How do I regain to trust
With everything I’ve ever lost
And all I wanna do is hide
When you think you just can’t take anymore, anymore of it
I’m holding on, holding on to this
Take it, break it, strip it all the way discovered
Reason, this feeling, that’s gotta be uncovered
A new day, a secret, a fire in me and a lover
When you think you’ve taken everything
Here I am discovered
Here I am uncovered
Here I am uncovered
I found a girl inside of me
That I’ve been missing for so long
I told her that I’d never leave
No matter how strong the pain
I wouldn’t change a single day
Cause they are all the signs of me
When I think I just can’t take anymore, anymore of it
I’m holding on, holding on to this
Take it, break it, strip it all the way discovered
A reason, a feeling, that’s gotta be uncovered
A new day, a secret, a fire in me and a lover
When you think you’ve taken everything
Here I am discovered
Here I am uncovered
Take it, break it, strip it all the way discovered
A reason, a feeling, that’s gotta be uncovered
A new day, a secret, a fire in me and a lover
When you think you’ve taken everything
Here I am
Take it, break it, strip it all the way discovered
A reason, a feeling, that’s gotta be uncovered
A new day, a secret, a fire in me and a lover
When you think you’ve taken everything
Here I am discovered
Here I am uncovered
So how do I begin again
Let my heart just breathe it in
Show the world that I’m alive
WAITING FOR FOREVER
A shadow boxin with a trick of light
A day that disappears into the night
Wings of gold that shattered into dust
So understand what's in your hands is not enough
Why don't you stop
Waiting for forever

Why don't you stop
Waiting for forever
Living like it's not begun
Cause the now
The now is the only time that matters
Come on stop
Waiting for forever
Forever might never come
Forever might never come
The moment we decide to let it go
The future is the one without control
Lose yourself while love's supposed to be
Can pull you in and feed the insecurities
Why don't you stop
Waiting for forever
Forever might never come
Why don't you stop
Waiting for forever
Living like it's not begun
Cause the now
The now is the only time that matters
Come on stop
Waiting for forever
Forever might never come
Forever might never come
You want it all, everything - you want it for free
And everyone would be everything you said you'd be
Why don't you stop
Waiting for forever
Forever might never come
Why don't you stop
Waiting for forever
Living like it's not begun
Cause the now
The now is the only time that matters
Come on stop
Waiting for forever
Forever might never come
Forever might never come
DAUGHTER
One day I'll thank you
But right now I'm just too raw
I am so wired, I'm so tired
By fighting every little war
I won’t live in your fear or doubt in who I am
I can’t stay, I want to scream out loud
So let me fall, I won’t break
I'll take my heart to my grave
And I will breathe under the water
You’ve forsakened the daughter here
And I won’t give up on you
And I won’t give up on me
One day we won’t exist
And all the hurt will turn to dust
It is easier to shut down
Than to open up to trust
I love hard, I speak out, I lay my truths on the table
I've been through a thing or two by now
So let me fall, I won’t break
I'll take my heart to my grave
And I will breathe under the water
You’ve forsakened the daughter here
And I won’t give up on you
And I won’t give up on me
All the open hearts are fighting to be heard
In a modern world
All the raging tide and I'm down on my love
So let me fall, I won’t break
I'll take my heart to my grave
And I will breathe under the water
You’ve forsakened the daughter here
And I won’t give up on you
And I won’t give up on me
And I won’t give up on you
And I won’t give up on me
I won’t give up on me
RISE
Give me a hero
Someone to help me understand
I need an angel
Someone who’d take my hand without asking why or thinking twice
And lay me down
Make me feel safe
Until I’m back on my feet
There's a second chance for me to escape this
This gravity
So lift me up and teach me how to love and rise above it all
I’m crawling out of my skin
So cut these strings from all that’s held me down
You’ve got to show me how to, to believe again
I’ve nothing left to hide
I’m trying to open up my eyes
Help me to rise
Help me to rise
I need a saviour
Someone who’s gonna make a change
I need a soldier
Someone to stand right by my side every time, day or night
And lay me down
Make me feel safe
I’m starting to see there’s a world out there for me
Let me make believe
So lift me up and teach me how to love and rise above it all
I’m crawling out of my skin
So cut these strings from all that’s held me down
You’ve got to show me how to, to believe again
I’ve nothing left inside
I’m trying to open up my eyes
Help me to rise
Help me to rise
Is there a hero
Someone who’ll help me understand
So lift me up and teach me how to love and rise above it all
I’m crawling out of my skin
So cut these strings from all that’s held me down
You’ve got to show me how to, to believe again
I’ve nothing left inside
I’m trying to open up my eyes
Help me to rise
Help me to rise
Help me to rise
Help me to rise
And rise
