Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

i turn the music up,

i got my records on

i shut the world outside

until the lights come on

maybe the streets alight,

maybe the trees are gone

i feel my heart start beating

to my favorite song

and all the kids they dance,

all the kids all night

until monday morning feels another life

i turn the music up

i'm on a roll this time

and heaven is in sight

i turn the music up,

i got my records on

from underneath a rubble,

sing a rebel song

don't want to see another generation drop

i'd rather be a comma

than a full stop

maybe i'm in the black,

maybe i'm on my knees

maybe i'm in the gap

between the two trapezes

but my heart is beating

and my pulses start

cathedrals in my heart

and we saw oh this light i swear you,

emerge blinking into

to tell me it's alright

as we soar walls,

every siren is a symphony

and every tear's a waterfall

is a waterfall, oh

is a waterfall, oh, oh, oh

is a waterfall

every tear is a waterfall

oh, oh, oh

so you can hurt, hurt me bad

but i'll still raise the flag

it was a wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall

a wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall

every tear

every tear

every teardrop is a waterfall

every tear

every tear

every teardrop is a waterfall
