Let me tell you a tale of a man
We know that sleeps through open eyes
A man too sad for laughter
And too ashamed to cry
A man who's scared of living
So he steals away and hides
The tale I tell the story sad old Harold Fry
His mother left when he was young his father loved to drink
He left his home at age sixteen
Alone and on the brink
He worked away his adult life
Blunting like a kitchen knife
He couldn't reach his son his wife would slowly start to sink
Now every day is like the last
And like the one before
He sits and watches life go past like shadows on the wall
The years have gone so fast it's like they never came at all
Oh Harold won't you wake up?
And hear a distant call
To rise and see the sun in the sky
Look up and see the birds flying high
Look out and see the trees dancing in the breeze
Oh Harold don't let life pass you by
Go out and taste the world on your tongue
Go out and feel the air in your lungs
Go bask in nature's beauty
Harold it's your duty to break free from this wreck you've become
Like a phoenix rising up from the ashes
Like a phoenix rising up from the flames
Go dance out in the rain and the storm
Go see just how it feels to be born
Go spinning free and tumbling
Feel your prison crumbling round suburbia's walls
Like a phoenix rising up from the ashes
Like a phoenix rising up from the flames
Like a phoenix rising up from the ashes
Like a phoenix rising up from the flames
Rise up break free
Rise up
