Waterdeep - Build The Tower Tall lyrics

The revolution came and the revolution died We believed all of the leaders but the leaders just lied Sitting in a jail with a bitter grudge to bear Released as a loner with nothing left to share CHORUS Make a tower tall. Make a tower high Build it so big that it just rips through the sky Scramble up the language; try to communicate We make our plans in vain; we cannot elevate We all just grit our teeth while we watch the nightly news Another year another hundred thousand lives to lose All this talk of peace and the great new consciousness But the weight of expectation left our living rooms a mess BRIDGE When I was in the cell, nobody came by No one would have known if I'd have died And all I want to know is- would someone shoot me straight- Was there ever a chance, or were we meant to wait? CHORUS To see the tower fall, to see the crooked straight To see the huddled ma**es pa** through the gate Speaking all in common The promises of peace The sound of weeping mothers Everywhere has ceased OUTRO We'll do what we can We'll do what we can For now
