World Is Watching
If I could give you the moon
I swear I would
Give you the keys to my heart
If that's all it took
If I could give you the stars
And all their friends
I'd put my life on the line
Only to do it again
Cut the lights
I am done pretending
That I am weak
When you are with me
I give up
I am done controlling
Then I remember those words you told me
Get up, get up, don't back down
Get up, get up, hold your ground
Get up, get up, look around
The world is watching
Come on, come on, now's your chance
No matter the circumstance
Get up and start to dance
The world is watching
If I could give you my life
I swear I would
I want to, but that requires letting go of control
And all I know is you say I am free
But how can I be free
When it's all weighing down on me?
There's got to be more
Cut the lights
I am done pretending
That I am weak
When you are with me
I give up
I am done controlling
Then I remember those words you told me
Get up, get up, don't back down
Get up, get up, hold your ground
Get up, get up, look around
The world is watching
Come on, come on, now's your chance
No matter the circumstance
Get up and start to dance
The world is watching
If you can find the key
To get me out of this cell
I need to know that you can love me
When I can't love myself
And if I'm gonna give you
All of my life
I need to trust that when I fall
I'll still be able to say
Get up, get up, don't back down
Get up, get up, hold your ground
Get up, get up, look around
The world is watching
Come on, come on, now's your chance
No matter the circumstance
Get up and start to dance
The world is watching
Cut the lights
I am done pretending
That I am weak
When you are with me
I give up
I am done controlling
Then I remember those words you told me
Then I remember those words you told me
Then I remember those words you told me
I swear I would
Give you the keys to my heart
If that's all it took
If I could give you the stars
And all their friends
I'd put my life on the line
Only to do it again
Cut the lights
I am done pretending
That I am weak
When you are with me
I give up
I am done controlling
Then I remember those words you told me
Get up, get up, don't back down
Get up, get up, hold your ground
Get up, get up, look around
The world is watching
Come on, come on, now's your chance
No matter the circumstance
Get up and start to dance
The world is watching
If I could give you my life
I swear I would
I want to, but that requires letting go of control
And all I know is you say I am free
But how can I be free
When it's all weighing down on me?
There's got to be more
Cut the lights
I am done pretending
That I am weak
When you are with me
I give up
I am done controlling
Then I remember those words you told me
Get up, get up, don't back down
Get up, get up, hold your ground
Get up, get up, look around
The world is watching
Come on, come on, now's your chance
No matter the circumstance
Get up and start to dance
The world is watching
If you can find the key
To get me out of this cell
I need to know that you can love me
When I can't love myself
And if I'm gonna give you
All of my life
I need to trust that when I fall
I'll still be able to say
Get up, get up, don't back down
Get up, get up, hold your ground
Get up, get up, look around
The world is watching
Come on, come on, now's your chance
No matter the circumstance
Get up and start to dance
The world is watching
Cut the lights
I am done pretending
That I am weak
When you are with me
I give up
I am done controlling
Then I remember those words you told me
Then I remember those words you told me
Then I remember those words you told me
