[Verse 1]

Skies hang heavy and they gather in your field of view

Lift them higher so they're never hanging over you

Carry the load with all your might

It's sinking low, you'll be alright, coming down

Reach a plateau, but you're feeling like you just begun

In the shadow of the heaven that you're holding on

Never saw something burn so bright

Caught all our minds, lit up the night - What a sight

Looking over on the city that you once belonged

Shrug your shoulders at the people who've done you wrong

Walking above a crowded street

The ones you love, a thousand feet below

Take the throne now are, we singing out the same old song?

Overgrown now, cause you never learned to move along

Never give up all through the years

It's plain to see, straight through the tears, and I'll stay

[Chorus 1]

Holding the sky up above

Looking down to the ones way below

Standing tall, Giant

[Verse 2]

We'll be closer when you turn the world upon its head

Hand it over and I'll carry it along instead

Show me your hand so I can see, I'll understand more easily, over time

Break the silence, if you're thinking turn it to sound

Close the circle, when you finish tell me what you've found

Carry the load with all your might, it's sinking low, you'll be alright, coming down

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Hand me the weight from above

Feel it falling away

Letting go of it all, Giant

[Bridge] x4

Take it back now, do you really wanna take it to the start?

Looking back now, did you ever really wanna play a part?
