You fight the daily battles
Of a million things created
Of and around what you fear and know
And fear not knowing, we get thrown
Into the face of a thousand trains
You've trained upon our ears
Here we are, here we are, still listening
And you fight the good fight to win
Until the death over a thing that doesn't care
Carry any weight at all and doesn't even know
It signed up for duty in a war that you created
Built with the help of those who didn't care
But gave you tools, supplies, and dared you:
Build a place to hide your fear
I will watch you fight the sky
You make them run and hide
You wait for it to die now
I will watch you fight the sky
You make them run and hide
I'll watch you fight the sky now
I will watch you fight the sky
And wait for it to die
And we wait, and we wait, and we wait
For a strong wind to pick you up
And rip the pain and slam it down
Into a wall it can't climb up
Get passed, knock down
And so we wait
Pick your battles, save your force
For the fights that really matter
But still you demand waiting for the world to understand
And to care, to know, to love, and yes, to give a damn
And if it runs, may it hide
I will watch you fight the sky
I will watch you fight the sky
You make them run and hide
You wait for it to die now
I will watch you fight the sky
You make them run and hide
I'll watch you fight the sky now
The color's changing now
The dim light shifting to those across the world
Who don't know, don't care, don't worry if you've won
So tell me if it changes, fixes, curses or remains
All the ones you left behind, keep nearer still
And remind that asking means fighting, means winning
Needs doing, and you have won
Oh now you have won
That asking means fighting, means winning, needs doing
And you have won it all
I will watch you fight the sky
You make them run and hide
You wait for it to die now
I will watch you fight the sky
You make them run and hide
I'll watch you fight the sky now
You fight the daily battles
Of a million things created
Of and around what you fear and know
And fear not knowing we get thrown
Into the face of a thousand trains
You've trained upon our ears
Here we are here we are still listening
