Second City

When the city burned down we rallied all around Water tower rim was left down town You and I climbed with the lake behind And threw the smoke we saw where our city died So burned our bridges and burned our parks burned our kitchens and burned our hearts Watched the flames take city hall Watched the brand new hotel fall So wrong So young So good and full of promise So long So long to everything we've lost In the glow down town is calling down on the ground now And all your hope has gone as ashes around now Brick by brick Beep by beep Your heart will survive Till the second city lights begin to rise So today we climb back way up high where the city holds up the westhalf of sky And looking out Left no doubt That everything that burns turns back around So wrong So young So good and full of promise So long So long to everything we've lost In the glow down town in falling down on the ground now And all your hope has gone as ashes around now Brick by brick Beep by beep Your heart will survive Till the second city I have known you baby I have seen that you are strong You will push out loss You push into a song We'll say sooooooooooo looong In the down town its falling down on the ground now And all your hope has blown as ashes around now Brick by brick Beep by beep Your heart will survive Till the second city lights Begin to rise To rise Oh rise Begin to rise To rise Come on rise Rise
