I'm covered in scars But not yet a ghost I count the stars From this whipping post I'm singing out loud Someday I'll fly I stand tall and avow I'm a king inside Gonna build this tower to the sky Watch the world turn anew Build this tower, you and I Break the chains Someday We're tattered and scarred But still we sing These chains say who we are So let freedom ring We stand against the wall But we will defy We'll build this tower tall And look down in pride Gonna build this tower to the sky Watch the world turn anew Build this tower, you and I Break the chains Someday Well the water is rising And the tower is climbing It seems we've become warriors We've become invincible Well the power is growing So we'd better keep going We've come a long way from the whipping post We've become invincible Gonna build this tower to the sky Watch the world turn anew Build this tower, you and I Break the chains Someday
