ladders for leaders

sunrise was in doubt for tomorrow for the faithful

and the hopeless who were told their world had died

outside where the battle should be raging

there was no one even thinking

i looked over

there was no you

it's time

you're awake

i'm not sinning for the world today

i know this fire

you will shine

we all want something to believe again that's right

it's time

you're awake

i'm not sinning for the world today

i know this fire

you will shine

we all want something to believe again now

somehow they defeated us with no one even bleeding

no resistance or debate

they just covered our eyes

villains created

become ladders for leaders

to keep us from asking who's holding the strings coming from their backs

it's time

you're awake

i'm not sinning for the world today

i know this fire

you will shine

we all want something to believe again that's right

it's time

you're awake

i'm not sinning for the world today

i know this fire

you will shine

we all want something to believe again that's right

it's like something i know

feels like something i own

it's like i'm breathing for the first time

villains created

become ladders for leaders

to keep us from asking who's holding the strings coming from their backs

it's time

you're awake

i'm not sinning for the world today

i know this fire

you will shine

we all want something to believe again now

there's hope

i see the thread that we are hanging from

one voice and we can save it all

i choose to reinvent

you know the way

you are the way
