The Tower
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I am the captain and it feels absurd
How I let my life crash down by your every word
And I know you feel the weight it puts on you
But I can't stop thinking we can make it through
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Can you believe in what you once could feel?
Not turning back but going up the hill
I'm sure there is a view from the very top
And then it's all downhill and never stop
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Last night I said out loud a little prayer
And I don't believe it died out in the air
It maybe seems impossible today
But I will keep believing anyway
Everyday, all the way
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
Can we keep hanging from the tower?
