The city buildings take my breath away The men who built them they risked their lives to say You gotta lose everything to know That you could gain the whole world if you don't
When your fate’s tied to a balance beam And your feet could cost you everything You gotta break all the rules to know That there ain't any rules anymore
You could stand in the rain to know my love won’t wash away I might bend until I break so I can see that I'm afraid But we won't know who we are without risking it all Baby I’ll risk you if you risk me too
See her children how they learn to fly They fall from heaven in a blink of an eye I've seen her risk everything she's known Until there's nothing to fear anymore
I saw an angel fly through hell today And as she passed I thought I heard her say Beauty isn't meant to be owned Unless you share with the rest of the world
