Sanoja: Building 429. Rise.

What?s a boy supposed to see
When he?s staring in the mirror at age thirteen?
Where?s the man he wants to be?
He must be hiding behind the lies that he?s too weak

Well, I was there when they pushed you down
Wiped the blood from your knees
When you got up off the ground

'Cause no one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw the man you?d be
When they laughed at the awkward kid

And no one else believed that you could fly
They couldn?t see the man you?d be
But it?s wonderful to watch you rise
To watch you rise

What could help him understand
When he?s staring at the scars that mar his gentle hands?
Where?s the mercy that he needs
It must be hiding behind the cut that makes them bleed

I was there when they pushed you down
Wiped the blood from your knees
When you got up off the ground

'Cause no one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw the man you?d be
When they laughed at the awkward kid

And no one else believed that you could fly
They couldn?t see the man you?d be
But it?s wonderful to watch you rise
To watch you rise

I was there when they crowned you king
Wiped the blood from your feet
As you hung on the tree

'Cause no one ever knew you the way I did
They never saw you in the child
When they laughed at his awkwardness

And no one else believed that you could fly
They couldn?t see the man you?d be
But it?s wonderful to watch you rise
To watch you rise

We'll watch you rise
We'll watch you rise

Just to watch you rise
Yeah, to watch you rise
