Take it back way back, back when I was down
Didn't know you would come around
Had no hope I was full of doubt
Did it show or did I fool you now
Take it way back, back where I come from
Didn't know there would be someone
All alone how I used to run
Took my own bitter medicine
Didn't know I had to let it come
Tried before knew that I was done trying
Thought for sure I would be relying
On myself set like the sun high
In the sky slowly going down dying
To escape below the horizon
Far away from the world I'm hiding
Out of sight till you let me home
We built these walls with our hands
We built this home with our heart
Our hearts, our start, we rise to the stars
I'm not much more than a man
I think you know where we are
We rise, we fall surprised them all
We built these walls with our hands
We made a home in our hearts
Our hearts, our hearts were hiding from the start
Sun is up turn up load the windows down
Can't believe it till you see me know
Can't you see got me turned around
Thought I would leave this dirty town
Now I'm up clouds around I felt so low
Underground when you said hello
Now you found me I'll never know
Said I'll never know a day alone
Didn't know I had to let it come
Tried before guess I wasn't done trying
There was more to be sure cause I am
Rising with you like the sun high
In the sky what would I be doing
Without you I would be in ruin
Far away from the world but you went
Lit the sky and led me home
We built these walls with our hands
We built this home with our heart
Our hearts, our start, we rise to the stars
I'm not much more than a man
I think you know where we are
We rise, we fall surprised them all
We built these walls with our hands
We made a home in our hearts
Our hearts, our hearts were hiding from the start
So take it back way back, back when I was down
Didn't know you would come around
