|
I heard the wings beat on the wind tonight |
|
As the heat stole power from the darkening light |
|
I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew |
|
People who look like you |
|
Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake |
|
We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break |
|
Drift through the streets, walk between the cars |
|
Newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars |
|
The summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true |
|
And to the faithless few |
|
Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake |
|
We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break |
|
Who will rise and who will sink? |
|
Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink? |
|
Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park like frightened sheep |
|
Spirit throngs that hoist us high, three-thousand warriors deep |
|
Spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick |
|
Try to time the rhythm, listen for the click |
|
Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake |
|
We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break |
