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 eye
