What would you do if you someone offered you their pain?
Would you lend that man a hand or walk away?
'Cause life is hard and you ain't gotta share the weight
And when it's all said and done, you gon' end up in the rain
That's why we struggle for money, power and greed
We go to war and undervalue our peace
We set our sights on change that we'll never see
We send 'em home with a key, at least you can let 'em dream
This for the kid in the war torn city
Put your hands together and pray with me
But chances are that he won't heal your scars
You a little too late, and he a little too far
But in your heart something tellin' you to hang on
Sayin' no matter what you stand for, stand strong
I see it all, see it clear in this sand storm
And they can tell you what they want, but they damn wrong
That's why you tell 'em that you lookin' for the door
When they lookin' for you heart, and you tell 'em that it's yours
And your never gonna let it go
Keep it on the pedestal
Right until the end before I fly, I'ma let 'em know
I know your life ain't is simple
I know I've been there before
I've been down that road when you gotta leave town and you just can't take no more
When they all just seem to doubt you
And the world goes on without you
When the days go by and you're locked inside, just know you're not alone
'Cause we all tryna fly away (yeah)
We all tryna fly away (away, away)
Just know you're not alone
When they try and make you whisper, but you wanna yell
Or they tryna get it out ya but you'll never tell
It doesn't really matter what I'm doing, I'ma give 'em hell
Long as all my people on the boat then I am set to sail
I could take it all, but only took what I needed
Struggle can make you strong, it'll turn a bird to a Phoenix
Just let 'em know that you can, let 'em know that you mean it
The harder road is more scenic, you gotta trust me, I see it
I believe it's in you, I believe it's the truth
I believe if you want it there's nothing you couldn't do
There's no one you couldn't face, there's nothing you couldn't stop
Stay ahead of the race, you're taking it to the top
Breathing in outer space, you taking it to the stars
If you can handle the heat, then you can take it that far
If you can handle the low than you can take it that high
Until the day that we go, I'll meet you up in the sky
I'll see you there
I know your life ain't is simple
I know I've been there before
I've been down that road when you gotta leave town and you just can't take no more
When they all just seem to doubt you
And the world goes on without you
When the days go by and you're locked inside, just know you're not alone
'Cause we all tryna fly away (yeah)
We all tryna fly away (away, away)
Just know you're not alone
