Skyscrapers (feat. Bono)

Rrr, rrr (Right)
Time for us to reach for the skies
Talk to 'em

I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What begun as a scene is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers

Whenever I went through something,
It brought me closer to God (Come on)
And I stayed in somethin', so now I'm closer to God (Come on)
But closer to his heart, the attacks get stronger (Uh-huh)
Become much harder to fight, and they last longer (Yeah)
That's what it's always been, joy with the pain (Rrr)
Dark with the light (Rrr), sun with the rain (What?)
But, with the right perspective there's somethin' to gain
Look for the good and the bad, like the sun when it rains

I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What begun as a scene is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers

I don't like better, better get you comfortable
Comfort put you to sleep, even though it's up with you (What?)
Hatin' our relationship, but what I love
Hate it because it kills me, love it for what it does
Every day I live, every day I die
Don't always laugh but every day I cry
Used to wonder why, now I enjoy the rain
Be stronger with the struggle, can't live without the pain
I just wanna be heard, fuck the fame
My words will live forever, fuck my name
Father God, please give me the strength I need
I was born in the dirt, just like you planted the seed
Let me grow

I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become skyscrapers
What begun as a scene is no longer a dream
Let's become skyscrapers

Put your hands high and touch the sky
Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers
Put your hands high and touch the sky
Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers
Breezes in the summer comin' sky
In jungles through the life of flashin' lights
Feel for the, feel for far away

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The sky is not in control of you
