1 / Rise & Shine

Walking across this beach shore
All the ocean waves seem to clash then sink
Walking along, I'm wanting more
I want to see the water shaking hands with ink
See them side by side sharing a glass of wine
Telling me that they're enjoying these tides
They're drunk and dancing while the sea life's laughing
Under this bright moon, showing one day we

Can rise, fly above the clouds up high
Help you see the surface flicker from the sky
Yeah, we'll shine deep into the night
We'll help you see we're stars, you and I
Yeah, we can keep our city bright

Walking across this sidewalk
Westward green and northbound red, they fight
Walking along, I find no calm
All the streetlights struggle to synchronize
Then if lightning strikes, bringing them all to life
Turning them as yellow as the moon tonight 
And then the thunder sounds, and you hear the crowds
Cheer under this bright moon, showing one day we

Can rise, fly above the clouds up high
Help you see the surface flicker from the sky
Yeah, we'll shine deep into the night
We'll help you see we're stars, you and I
Yeah, we'll rise, fly above the clouds up high
Help you see the surface flicker from the sky
Yeah, we'll shine deep into the night
We'll help you see we're stars, you and I
Yeah, we can keep our city bright

Walking past the sidewalks, into the beach
I can feel the sand sink right through my feet
Walking past the sidewalks, the city
I can lift skyscrapers, now isn't that silly?
But if you closed your eyes and let the thought breathe
You'd see water and ink mix, and you'd see

Us rise, fly above the clouds up high
Help you see the surface flicker from the sky
Yeah, we'll shine deep into the night
We'll help you see we're stars, you and I
Yeah, we'll rise, fly above the clouds up high
Help you see the surface flicker from the sky
Yeah, we'll shine deep into the night
We'll help you see we're stars, you and I
Yeah, we can keep our city bright
