You shook your heads, and you called it a great loss
Smug with your pride, you gave him pity
You couldn’t believe the cost
You wouldn’t see, he was not like you
He chose to break the chains of his own fear
Why would he drop to his knees to pray
When he rose to God’s ear
You couldn’t hear – his heart beating faster
Angels they know to answer the call
Only those – who chase the sunrise
Will ever fall
She'd no more tears for the boy who would fly high
Waste no more words on his failure
Rising above even his own existenc
Forever immortal, while blazing the earth
Whoa oh
Remember this warning
Whoa oh
Remember his story
Even today, you are his judges
You with your scorn and your feet on the cold ground
You are the prisoners, you are the foolish
You laughed as he broke his bounds
You couldn’t hear – the sound of his singing
Angels they know the lesson too well
Death is most cruel to those with no story
No story to tell
She'd no more tears for the boy who would fly high
Waste no more words on his failure
Rising above even his own existence
Forever immortal, while blazing the earth, so just
Save all your fears for your own timid passions
You who looked so small in his eyes
Morning will rise on a story that’s retold
A legend reborn, a legend reborn in the skies
Which of you – would not trade places with
Him to know – just what the sky felt like
Whose life – can rise to greatness
That won’t risk the fall
Whoa oh
Remember this warning
Whoa oh
Remember his story
Whoa oh
Be afraid to die
Without touching
Without touching the sky
She'd no more tears for the boy who would fly high
Waste no more words on his failure
Rising above even his own existence
Forever immortal, while blazing the earth, so just
Save all your fears for your own timid passions
You who looked so small in his eyes
Morning will rise on a story that’s retold
A legend reborn, a legend reborn in the skies
Caution to those who see fault in this story
Flaws that are fatal are lies
Morning will rise on a story that’s retold
A legend reborn, a legend reborn in the skies
A legend reborn in the skies
A legend reborn in the skies
Whoa oh
Remember this warning
Whoa oh
Remember his story
Whoa oh
Be afraid to die
Without touching
Without touching the sky
Ages ago, you saw him falling You shook your heads, and you called it a great loss Smug with your pride, you gave him pity You couldn’t believe the cost You wouldn’t see, he was not like you He chose to break the chains of his own fear Why would he drop to his knees to pray When he rose to God’s ear You couldn’t hear – his heart beating faster Angels they know to answer the call Only those – who chase the sunrise Will ever fall She'd no more tears for the boy who would fly high Waste no more words on his failure Rising above even his own existenc Forever immortal, while blazing the earth Whoa oh Remember this warning Whoa oh Remember his story Even today, you are his judges You with your scorn and your feet on the cold ground You are the prisoners, you are the foolish You laughed as he broke his bounds You couldn’t hear – the sound of his singing Angels they know the lesson too well Death is most cruel to those with no story No story to tell She'd no more tears for the boy who would fly high Waste no more words on his failure Rising above even his own existence Forever immortal, while blazing the earth, so just Save all your fears for your own timid passions You who looked so small in his eyes Morning will rise on a story that’s retold A legend reborn, a legend reborn in the skies Which of you – would not trade places with Him to know – just what the sky felt like Whose life – can rise to greatness That won’t risk the fall Whoa oh Remember this warning Whoa oh Remember his story Whoa oh Be afraid to die Without touching Without touching the sky She'd no more tears for the boy who would fly high Waste no more words on his failure Rising above even his own existence Forever immortal, while blazing the earth, so just Save all your fears for your own timid passions You who looked so small in his eyes Morning will rise on a story that’s retold A legend reborn, a legend reborn in the skies Caution to those who see fault in this story Flaws that are fatal are lies Morning will rise on a story that’s retold A legend reborn, a legend reborn in the skies A legend reborn in the skies A legend reborn in the skies Whoa oh Remember this warning Whoa oh Remember his story Whoa oh Be afraid to die Without touching Without touching the sky Explain Request ×
