Love lives in New York City

He got a place off of the park

Heard he was standing in the ruins

And in his hands a broken heart

He called an army of his angels

I heard they had to hide their wings

It was them who brought you water

If you listen closely I know you can hear

The choir singing

Hey, hallelujah, baby

Rise Up

Hold out your hands and reach out

Higher

Get up on your feet

Rise Up

Let it flow though you, baby

Run it through your veins

Like a healing rain

Everywhere you'll see

Another reason to believe

I saw him down south of Canal Street

Right there in a mother's eyes

At a table in a restaurant window

In a taxi passing by

Love went running up the stairwell

When the sky came falling down

It was him in a newborn baby's cry

He was there to make that sound

That keeps this whole world spinning 'round

Rise Up

Hold out your hands and reach out

Higher

Get up on your feet

Rise Up

Let it flow though you, baby

Run it through your veins

Like a healing rain

Everywhere you'll see

Another reason to believe

It's different than it was before

Now we need it even more

Fire's falling from the sky

Innocence just said goodbye

It may never be the same

Maybe it was time to change

A time to grieve

A time to cry

A time to live

A time to fly
