All I see it's not for me   What I want you have not got   Tried to use the things you sold me   No matter what the cost.   Tried to go the way you told me   But each time I got lost.   The stairs didn't lead me anywhere.      I'm taking the fire escape   Up to the roof   Don't care if it's not that way   You'll find the truth   Time to make this climb   To rise above      This room and all of you   Who say I should do like you would   Tried to live the live you sold me   No matter what the cost   Tried to walk the way you told me   But each time I got lost   The stairs didn't lead me anywhere.      I'm taking the fire escape   Up to the roof   Don't care if it's not the way   You'll find the truth   And when I get up that high   I don't know what I'll find   But I'd rather look at the sky than wonder why    I let you take my time   Time to make this climb   To rise above      I'm taking the fire escape   Up to the roof   Don't care if it's not the way   You'll find the truth   And when I get up that high   I don't know what I'll find   But I'd rather look at the sky   Than wonder why I let you take my time   Time to make this climb   To rise above   Time to make this climb   To rise above
