Stand Up

We were kids Lookin' out into nothin' Lookin' for a way to get around at night We were kids Holdin' out for a dream We were born to be wild and free Or sit alone online [Pre-Chorus 1] But I don't wanna wait Sit the other side of these flood lights Dreaming up a way to escape Anyone around? Get me mission control, give me a sound on the radio [Chorus] Stand up and be counted Before we slip away out here Before we slip away, slip away Don't ever doubt it Even if we're surrounded Don't wanna slip away, slip away [Refrain] Slip away (slip) Slip away (slip) [Verse 2] We were Kings We were Queens of an empire We were made out on these streets We were all desire [Pre-Chorus 2] So, if we're gonna break If we're gonna tumble in the gunfire Promise we'll be side by side Say you'll be there when the school gates close Say you'll be there when the rest don't show [Chorus] Stand up and be counted Before we slip away out here Before we slip away, slip away Don't ever doubt it Even if we're surrounded Don't wanna slip away, slip away [Bridge] High on hope and high on fear We were heartbreak of the year We were stackin' up to fall (oh, oh) We were summers in the street We were sunlight through the trees We were born for silver screens (oh, oh) We were whispers in the dark We were sleeping under stars Singing, "all of this is ours" (oh oh) We were rollercoaster screams 'Til our hearts burst at the seams We're not gonna let it all go up in smoke [Outro] Stand up and be counted Before we slip away out here Before we slip away, slip away
