lyrics

people rush headlong through the city
looking ahead dont blink or youll miss it

I spent my time looking up and away
was i
looking for something that i could save
was i
looking for something ill never give up
They look ahead of themselves
but im looking up

remember being just one of the millions
no irony just strength of illusion

i couldnt help looking down to the grave
was i looking for something
that wont fade away
looking for faith that isnt so tough
they look for bigger fish
but im looking up

Up there the gold capped spires
scrape the clouds up higher

A steam cloud that rises from the roof
a thousand lifetimes search for truth

well people rush headlong through the city
Eyes on the prize cant blink or youll miss it

I spent my time looking up and away
looking for something
i could save
looking for something that ll never give up

warmth of the sun and the cold winter days
feeling the eyes of the lost and depraved
trying to keep ahead of the flame
keeping myself maintained
And im looking up
