  • Skies hang heavy and they gather in the field of view
    Lift them higher so they're never hanging over you
    Carry the load, with all your might
    It's sinking though you'll be alright
    Coming down
    Reach a plateau, but you're feeling like you just begun
    In the shadow of the heaven that you're holding on
    Nervous or something, birds are bright
    Cut all the lights, lit up the night
    What a sight
    Looking over on the city that you once belonged
    Shrug your shoulders at the people who have done you wrong
    Walking about the crowded street
    The ones you love ten thousand feet below
    Take the throne back, now we're singing the same old song
    Hold the throne now, 'cause you never loved to move along
    Never give up all through the years
    It's plain to see, straight through the tears your mistakes

    Holding the sky and the earth
    Looking down to the worms
    Way below, standing tall giant

    We'll be closer when you turn the world upon its head
    Hand it over and I'll carry it along instead
    Show me your hands so I can see
    I'll understand more easily all the time
    Break the silence if we think it's turning into sound
    Close the circle, when you're finished, tell me what you found
    Carry the load, with all your might
    It's sinking though you'll be alright, coming down

    Holding the sky and the earth
    Looking down to the worms
    Way below, standing tall giant

    Hand me the weight from above
    Feel it falling away
    Letting go of it all giant

    Take it back now, do you really wanna take it to the start
    Looking back now, did you ever really wanna play a part?
    Take it back now, do you really wanna take it to the start
    Looking back now, did you ever really wanna play a part?
    Take it back now, do you really wanna take it to the start
    Looking back now, did you ever really wanna play a part?
    Take it back now, do you really wanna take it to the start
    Looking back now, did you ever really wanna play a part? Writer/s: DAVID MACLEAN, JAMES DIXON, THOMAS GRACE, VINCENT NEFF
