The city buildings take my breath away
The men who built them they risked their lives to say
You gotta lose everything to know
That you could gain the whole world if you don't
When your fate's tied to a balance beam
And your feet could cost you everything
You gotta break all the rules to know
That there ain't any rules anymore
You could stand in the rain to know my love won't wash away
I might bend until I break so I can see that I'm afraid
But we won't know who we are without risking it all
Baby I'll risk you if you risk me too
See her children how they learn to fly
They fall from heaven in a blink of an eye
I've seen her risk everything she's known
Until there's nothing to fear anymore
I saw an angel fly through hell today
And as she passed I thought I heard her say
Beauty isn't meant to be owned
Unless you share with the rest of the world
