Towers

When they come, when they come- to tear you down
When they come, when they come- to watch you fall
You will build your towers up so high. They will never get to you
Stand up – Be strong – Put your armor on
When they cast their stones, they will never get to you

Your towers - will be unshakeable. Your towers - will be unbreakable
Build them up, Build them up, Build them up
Build those towers high

They will look for your flaws, your inequities- They will pose as your friends but they're enemies
They will look for your weakness -try to break your defense
They will criticize, patronize, never apologize
It's not what you know or the talent you hold-You try to believe but that's not reality
It's who you know and what your name is – how you look, are you rich, are you famous
When they look in the mirror do they see what they like? Are they satisfied with their own life
Are they the judge and jury to decide? Tell them to stand in line. You've got nothing to hide
They want to see you fail - try to knock you down and fall, crash and burn to the ground
But you gotta be strong. Put your armor on

Your towers - will be unshakeable. Your towers - will be unbreakable
Build them up, Build them up, Build them up
Build those towers high

Some towers fall for glory and pride, in the name of country and sacrifice
To defend what's right, to justify and some just fall for the thrill of the fight
Choose your battles, your words, your weapons, and know who's on your side

Aim for the stars, give it all you got, take a chance, take another shot
Don't let them push you around, push back
Let it go, look forward, and don't look back
Crash through the ceiling, raise it up, change the rules, break that glass

Your towers-will be unshakeable. Your towers -will be unbreakable
Build them up, Build them up, Build them up
Build those towers high

When they come, when they come- to tear you down
When they come, when they come- to watch you fall
You will build your towers up so high. They will never get to you
Stand up – Be strong – Put your armor on
When they cast their stones, they will never get to you
Never get to you
