Taking a Stand - Henry Jackman

In the school yard when I was a kid I gave everyone my address, said, "Come on over," and it- It turns out that nobody did Swimmin' alone's how I spent my eighth birthday Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water I never got out of the water, even though I did Sometimes it feels like everyone's lookin' at the surface And it's not happenin' on purpose But they're takin' things for granted again I'm learnin' to write my wrongs (learnin' to write my wrongs) And speak up when I feel like I'm not bein' listened to But some story entered my bones When I was too far young to know not to listen to What people say, 'cause (ah) everybody's feelin' the pressure (ah) Of a world that keeps tryin' to end us everyday Sometimes it feels like (ah) everyone's lookin' at the surface (ah) And it's not happenin' on purpose But they're takin' things for granted again Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water I never got out of the water, even though I did Sometimes it feels like I never got out of the water I never got out of the water, even though I did Sometimes it feels like this world's got nothing for me Gettin' blind stares in return for what I give Sometimes I feel a (ah) thousand eyes lookin' down at the surface (ah) And they're watchin' me drown on purpose Oh, they're takin' things for granted again

You don't remember me, but I remember you I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you But who can decide what they dream? And dream I do I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you To live, to breathe You're taking over me Have you forgotten all I know And all we had? You saw me mourning my love for you And touched my hand I knew you loved me then I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you To live, to breathe You're taking over me I look in the mirror and see your face If I look deep enough So many things inside that just like you are taking over I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you To live, to breathe You're taking over me I believe in you I'll give up everything just to find you I have to be with you To live, to breathe You're taking over me (taking over me) You're taking over me (taking over me) Taking over me

We were kids Lookin' out into nothin' Lookin' for a way to get around the night We were kids Holdin' out for a dream We were born to be wild and free Or sit alone online But I don't wanna wait Sit the other side of these flood lights Dreaming up a way to escape Anyone around? Give me mission control Give me a sound on the radio Stand up and be counted Before we slip away out here Before we slip away, slip away Don't ever doubt it Even if we're surrounded Don't wanna slip away, slip away Slip away (slip) Slip away (slip) We were Kings We were Queens of an empire We were made out on the streets We were all deserved So, if we're gonna break If we're gonna tumble in a gunfight Promise we'll be side by side Say you'll there when the school gets closed Say you'll be there when the rest don't show Stand up and be counted Before we slip away out here Before we slip away, slip away Don't ever doubt it Even if we're surrounded Don't wanna slip away, slip away High on hope and high on fear We were heartbreak of the year We were stackin' up to fall We were summers in the street We were sunlight through the trees We were born for silver screens We were whispers in the dark We were sleeping under stars Say all of this is ours We were rollercoaster screams 'Til our hearts burst at the seams We're not gonna let it all, but I can try Stand up and be counted Before we slip away out here Before we slip away, slip away

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
