lyrics

When you were a child you would go play out on the street
I miss the days before we learned of where we shouldn’t be

They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”

Run and I will meet you where we’re not allowed to be
Come and I will show you all the truth they don’t want you to see
How do we know what to find?
How can I protect what is mine?
You listen and you follow
But please don’t forget our tomorrow

They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”

Where to go?
Do you need a hero?
Where to go?
Do we need a hero?
Where to go?
Oh, what do we know?

They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”

Run and I will meet you where we’re not allowed to be
Come and I will show you all the truth they don’t want you to see
How do we know what to find?
How can I protect what is mine?
On a whisper
Or a feather
But grown-ups don’t always know better

They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”

Where to go?
Do you need a hero?
Where to go?
Do we need a hero?
Where to go?
Oh, what do we know?

They tried to silence you and clip your golden wings
They fill your head with dollar signs yet say “think of lighter things”
