Gogol Bordello - To Rise Above

Thirty-five years, I lay awake at night
Across my mind is one eternal fight
Inventing new ways to think and see
But keep old friends and answers stir always

To frontiers, my kind is following the spark
To build lighthouse for those who scared of dark
To frontiers where we befriend the shark
And stare at the night but do not see the dark

Of sadness, madness

Here I crawl to rise above
(To rise above)
To rise above
(To rise above)
Oh, what is godless and misleading?

And touch the world
(Touch the world)
And touch the world
(And touch the world)
And touch the world that isn't bleeding

'Cause I don't know if anywhere in this universe
There is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe
Someone like you to know

I don't know if anywhere in this universe
There is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe
Someone like you to know, I

And I did see most beautiful of dreams
A cosmic harp where we were the strings
So making sure that the shudder is in tune
To loneliness, we were all immune

To frontiers, my kind is following the spark
To build lighthouse for those who scared of dark
To frontiers where we befriend the shark
And stare at the night to erase the mark

Of sadness, madness

Oh, here I crawl to rise above
(To rise above)
To rise above
(To rise above)
Oh, what is godless and misleading?

And touch the world
(Touch the world)
And touch the world
(And touch the world)
And touch the world that isn't bleeding

'Cause I don't know if anywhere in this universe
There is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe
Someone like you to know

I don't know if anywhere in this universe
There is this kind of love
I don't know if anywhere in this universe
Someone like you to know, I
