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
