We're a million lonely people
All together on this needle, in the sky;
Afraid of heights.
And your dreams were made illegal
By the laws of lesser evil
We call life.
But not tonight.



I dare you to love;
I dare you to cry;
I dare you to run;
I dare you to try.
I dare you to fall,
And lay on the ground.
I dare you to feel;
I dare you to be here now


You're an outline of a vision
That you had when we were children,
Yesterday;
You watch it fade.
Let your heart be your religion -
Let it break you out of this prison
You became.
It's not too late.


I dare you to love
I dare you to cry;
I dare you to run;
I dare you to try;
I dare you to fall,
And lay on the ground.
I dare you to feel;
I dare you to be here now

I dare you...
I dare you...
