Build It Up

Everything I ever knew
Came from you
Everything I wanna be
That's in me
That comes from me

Open up your fist and let me out
I was made to run around
And let me feel the air beneath my feet
let me go

And I know not everybody gets a new life
And I know not everybody gets to start over again
but I do know what I'm doing with my new life
I'll build it up
Break it down
Build it up
Build it up
Break it down

You can fly away too
That's on you
But don't tell me what I cannot do
I can tie all my shoes
And put on my coat
Living a history
The one that I wrote

And I know not everybody gets a new life
And I know not everybody get to start over again
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life
I'll build it up
Break it down
Build it up
Build it up
Break it down
Build it up

Everything I Ever Knew

And I know not everybody gets to start over again
But I do know what I'm doing with my new life
Build it up
Break it down
Build it up

Burn it up
Break it down
Build it up

You can fly away too
That's on you
