[Verse 1]
In a city like mine, there's no point in fightin'
I close my eyes, see you and me drivin'

[Chorus]

Oh
You and I, we're gonna rise again
Oh
You and I, we're gonna rise again
We were silenced by the night
But you and I, we're gonna rise again
Divided from the light
I wanna love the way we used to then
