[Verse 2: DMX]
I don't like better,✦ better✦ get you comfortable (Uh-huh)✦
Comfort puts you to sleep, need to know what's up with you (What?)
Hate and love relationship, but what I love (Yeah)
Hate it because it kills me, love it for what it does (Why?)
Every✦ day I live (Ugh), every✦ day I die (Ugh)
Don't always laugh (Ugh), but every✦ day I cry (What?)
Used✦ to wonder✦ why, now I enjoy✦ the rain (Ahh)
Get stronger with the struggle, can't live without the pain (What?)
I just wanna be heard, fuck the fame (Yeah)
My words will live forever (Come on), fuck my name
Father✦ God, please give me the strength I need
I was born in the dirt, so it's like you planted the seed, let me grow
[Chorus: Bono]
I've seen coal turn to diamonds
And blind man's visions become✦ skyscrapers✦
What began as a seed is no longer✦ a dream
Let's become✦ skyscrapers✦
[Bridge: Bono & DMX]
Put your hands high and touch the sky (Huh, huh, huh)
Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers✦
Put your hands high and touch the sky (Huh, huh, huh)
Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers✦ (Rrr)
Breezes in the summer✦ comet✦ sky
And jungle city✦ lights go flashing by
Feel full of—
Feel full, full
[Outro: DMX]
Reach for the sky (Ooh, yeah)
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky (Ooh, yeah)
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
The sky ain't gon' hold you
The sky is not gon' hold you
