too high to reach
too deep to hide away
i pray maybe we should end this game
too far to care
too close to look away
i pray maybe we should break this chain

i don't need a lover
but i do need a friend
i don't need a cover
to pretend

too sad to cry
too good to laugh away
i pray may a solution be found
too hard to work
too sound to throw away
i pray may we stop this merry go round

i don't need a angel
but i do need some peace
i don't need the bible
i need release

get up

rise up size up
we don't give up and don't back down
don't lose face don't turn around
rise up size up
don't show weakness never cry
cheek for cheek eye for an eye
eye for an e
