[Verse 1: Josh Groban]
Lately
Underneath this darkened sky
A spark has finally come to life
And washed over me
Steer me
From out of this delusive night
I got so much time for wild surprises
I can't hold them anymore
[Pre-Chorus: Josh Groban]
But how much this could mean to me
I can only imagine
Just how deeply we perceive
All the colors that we found
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
Would you follow me out on the thin branches?
Going blind, trying to soak up the sun
I believe, I believe that the space in between
Is what we become
Pеdal back through the fog through to second chances
Gotta fly at thе end of the fall
And when my hour's up
I wanna say I've filled my cup to the fullest
[Verse 2: Josh Groban]
Breathe
From hibernation, wake to life
Untie the hands and twist the knife
Before we stop going round
And oh, I know
That it's still so damn hard to try
To plant a flower just to watch it die
Can start to break you down
[Pre-Chorus: Josh Groban]
But how much further we could see
If we only imagined
Just how deeply we perceive
All the colors that we've found
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
Would you follow me out on the thin branches?
Going blind, trying to soak up the sun
I believe, I believe that the space in between
Is what we become
Pedal back through the fog through to second chances
Gotta fly at the end of the fall
And when my hour's up
I wanna know I've filled my cup to the fullest
[Bridge: Kirk Franklin with Choir, Josh Groban]
Listen
My friend, don't you give up (Don't give up)
Even though you've had enough (Had enough)
All the pain that life can bring (Lift your head)
Lift your head and just believe (Come on)
With eyes wide open
We'll only know then (Our love)
Our love can tear down walls (Yes, sir)
'Cause I watched them fall
And I can't came back for more (Follow)
[Chorus: Josh Groban]
Come on, follow me out on the thin branches
Going blind, trying to soak up the sun
I believe, I believe that the space in between
Is what we become
Pedal back through the fog through to second chances
Gotta fly at the end of the fall
And when my hour's up
I wanna say I've filled my cup, and we'll be singing
[Post-Chorus: Josh Groban with Choir]
Oh, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la
Oh, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la (Oh, we'll be singing)
Oh, la, la (Don't give up now)
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la (Can't give up now)
Oh, la, la
La-la-la, la-la-la
Oh, la-la-la
[Outro: Kirk Franklin]
If the world has ever needed love before
We need it now
Right now
Come on
