They hide it so well, like dirt under a rug
Swept beneath the surface, not something they regret
But hidden to lessen the burden
That it brings to them and everyone else
You rise above
As the moon rises, so does the glass
Its now time for it to take over
And as the sun sets, so does all hope
And everyone has come to accept it
Everyone has come to accept it
Yet you don't let it affect you
Everyone has come to accept it
You strive to be better
How is it that such surroundings
Can bring forth the greatest people
Their hearts pushed to the brink
How is it that such surroundings
Can bring forth the greatest people
But the last thing that they will do is break
Unsung heroes, they keep it together
Never wishing for an ounce of credit
They did nothing to deserve this burden
And yet the weight does not affect them
Yet the weight does not affect them
As the moon rises, so does the glass
Its now time for it to take over
And as the sun sets, so does all hope
And everyone has come to accept it
Leave it all behind
A life you can call your own
Not falling into the faults of generations past
They strive to be better, strive to be the best
You wont fall
And I know
And I know that you wont fall ( you wont fall)
Into the footsteps left before you
And I know youll stand tall (youll stand tall)
Youre the one to lead the way
Swept beneath the surface, not something they regret
But hidden to lessen the burden
That it brings to them and everyone else
You rise above
As the moon rises, so does the glass
Its now time for it to take over
And as the sun sets, so does all hope
And everyone has come to accept it
Everyone has come to accept it
Yet you don't let it affect you
Everyone has come to accept it
You strive to be better
How is it that such surroundings
Can bring forth the greatest people
Their hearts pushed to the brink
How is it that such surroundings
Can bring forth the greatest people
But the last thing that they will do is break
Unsung heroes, they keep it together
Never wishing for an ounce of credit
They did nothing to deserve this burden
And yet the weight does not affect them
Yet the weight does not affect them
As the moon rises, so does the glass
Its now time for it to take over
And as the sun sets, so does all hope
And everyone has come to accept it
Leave it all behind
A life you can call your own
Not falling into the faults of generations past
They strive to be better, strive to be the best
You wont fall
And I know
And I know that you wont fall ( you wont fall)
Into the footsteps left before you
And I know youll stand tall (youll stand tall)
Youre the one to lead the way
