Piercing Light

(ahhhh) Tick-tock, the seconds start to run

We chase the rising of a pale white sun

No time to look back,

no time to stall

We build our fortunes just to watch them fall

And the pressure is rising,

it's starting to show (oh no)

We have so much further to go!

Break through the ceiling,

reach for the sky! (yeah)

With open-throated wonder, we learn how to fly!

No turning backward, no looking down! (ahhhh)

Whispers in the hallway,

shadows on the floor

But we aren't looking for that safety anymore

Step double-time into the blinding white fire

Burning up the wire,

climbing ever higher

And the pressure is rising,

it's starting to show (oh no)

We have so much further

to go!

Break through the ceiling,

reach for the sky!

(yeah) With open-throated wonder,

we learn how to fly!

No turning backward, no looking down! (ahhhh)

Quiet now...

Don't let them hear you speak... (hushhh)

We are strong when we are weak...

We fly... (ahhhh)
