Ladders for Leaders

Sunrise was in doubt for tomorrow for the faithful and the hopeless who were told their world had died
Outside where the battle should be raging there was no one even thinking
I looked over, there was no you

It's time
You’re awake
I'm not sinning for the world today
I know this fire
You will shine
We all want something to believe again that's right
It’s time
You're awake
I'm not sinning for the world today
I know this fire
You will shine
We all want something to believe again now

Somehow they defeated us with no one even bleeding
No resistance or debate
They just covered our eyes
Villains created, become ladders for leaders
To keep us from asking who's holding the strings coming from their backs

It's time
You're awake
I'm not sinning for the world today
I know this fire
You will shine
We all want something to believe again that's right
It’s time
You’re awake
I'm not sinning for the world today
I know this fire
You will shine
We all want something to believe again that’s right

It's like something I know
Feels like something I own
It's like I'm breathing for the first time
Villains created, become ladders for leaders
To keep us from asking who’s holding the strings coming from their backs

It's time
You're awake
I'm not sinning for the world today
I know this fire
You will shine
We all want something to believe again now

There's hope
I see the thread that we are hanging from
One voice and we can save it all
I choose to reinvent
You know the way
You are the way
