Everything seems to be shaping up
Nobody’s on their own
And I don’t care just when or where
The world tells me to go
So long as I can call it home
All at once, our lives are shaken up
Everything’s on its head
What used to be uncertainty’s stability instead
So I thank God for bread
Everybody across the town
Tell them why, show them how
We changed the world around us
With ingenuity as our plow
Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
How many years were we crawling in mud
Fighting for scraps, begging for someone to
Send us a sign, throw us a line
Well, we built up ourselves this time
The kings of the kingdom like never before
With dominance pouring from every pore
The scales have been shifted, the balance restored
History changed forevermore
“If you must break the law, do it to seize power. In all cases, observe it”
“It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience”
“Men are nearly always willing to believe what they wish”
“Cowards die many times before their actual deaths”
“I came, I saw, I conquered”
“6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. All engine running. Liftoff!”

Sign me up, sign me up
You can have my name
Sign me up, sign me up
Redirect my aim
‘Cuz I have needed you for so long
And I will bleed for you until it’s gone
Line me up, line me up
So I look the same
Line me up, line me up
Tell me who to blame
‘Cuz I have closed my eyes for so long
I thought I knew the lies, I was wrong
Fight fire with fire
Let go of yourself
We’ll take you higher
Fight fire with fire
Lean in, breathe out
The void, the doubt
You’re now inspired
Burn it down
We’re gonna turn it to ash
Burn it down
We’re gonna turn it to ash
Fight fire with fire
Let go of yourself
We’ll take you higher
Fight fire with fire
Lean in, breathe out
The void, the doubt
You’re now inspired

Aim For Us

I find it funny
How the optimist in me won’t change
It’s always sunny
I guess I block all out all the times it rained
‘Cuz when you hold me, you own me
And everything around turns blurry
I can’t see whatever isn’t you and me
It’s the star I fix my gaze on
The target my sight’s on
Until tomorrow has come and gone
I’ll aim for us
I saw it coming
From the moment you leapt off the page
And now I’m burning
For a chapter that we both can make
‘Cuz when I see you, I need you
And every little doubt turns see-through
A preview of what it’s like, just me and you
It’s the star I fix my gaze on
The target my sight’s on
Until tomorrow has come and gone
I’ll aim for us
It’s the star I fix my gaze on
The target my sight’s on
Until tomorrow has come and gone
I’ll aim for us
I’ll aim for us
