Skyscrapers (feat. Bono)

Ah (right), ah It's time for us to reach for the stars (grr) Talk to 'em I've seen coal turned to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers Skyscrapers Whenever I went through something It brought me closer to God (come on) And I stayed in something so now I'm closer to God (come on) But closer is hard, the attacks get stronger (uh-huh) Become much harder to fight and they last longer (yeah) That's what it's always been, joy with the pain (uh-huh, ooo) Dark with the light, sun with the rain (oh) But with the right perspective there's something to gain (what) Look for the good in the bad, not the sun when it rains I've seen coal turned to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers Skyscrapers I don't like better, better gets you comfortable (uh-huh) Comfort puts you to sleep Need to know what's up with you (what) Hate and love relationship with what I love (yeah) Hate it because it kills me, love it for what it does (why) Every day I live, every day I die (ugh, ugh) Don't always laugh but every day I cry (ugh, cry) Used to wonder why, now I enjoy the rain Stronger with the struggle, can't live without the pain (what) I just wanna be heard, fuck the fame (yeah) My words will live forever, fuck my name (come on) Father God, please give me the strength I need I was born in the dirt, so it's like you planted the seed Let me grow I've seen coal turned to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers Put your hands high and touch the sky Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers Put your hands high and touch the sky Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers Breezes in the summer comet sky And jungle city lights go flashing by Feel full of, feel full, full Reach for the sky, ooh, yeah Reach for the sky Reach for the sky, ooh, yeah Reach for the sky Reach for the sky The sky ain't gon' hold you The sky is not gon' hold you
