We're holding on to Emall that we have
We hold it G6all
But the rise of the tide has its own weight
 GAnd we'll know that the cries in the wind
Are the Emlies that we lived
I'll blame it on the Emfires that you lit
You'll blame it on

  G6I'd retire but I'm struck by a want-to-know
[Chorus]
 DCan we rise?
Going our Dway through the night

[Verse 1]

Down by the waves

We're holding on to all that we have

We hold it all

But the rise of the tide has its own weight

And we'll know that the cries in the wind

Are the lies that we lived

I'll blame it on the fires that you lit

You'll blame it on

All the lies in the games, but we both played

I'd retire but I'm struck by a want-to-know

[Chorus]

Can we rise?

Going our way through the night

Can we grow and unite will we

Come back to wait for

A greater dawn

We'll come back to wait for

A greater dawn

But we ain't coming round

We ain't coming round, round, round

[Verse 2]

Down by the weight

It threw me how you nighted the day

It throws me how

We'll rely on the role that we're both playing

I'd resign but I'm stuck in a need-to-know

[Chorus]

Can we rise?

Going our way through the night

Can we grow and unite will we

Come back to wait for

A greater dawn

We'll come back to wait for

A greater dawn

But we ain't coming round

We ain't coming round, round, round

Come back to wait for

A greater dawn

We'll come back to wait for

A greater dawn

But we ain't coming round

We ain't coming round, round, round

[Bridge]

All the way down

To fold a strong hand

Too great to overcome

Way down, way down

All the way down

To fold a strong hand

Too great to overcome

Way down, way down

All the way down

To fold a strong hand

Too great to overcome

Way down, way down

All the way down

To fold a strong hand

Too great to overcome

Way down, way down
