(Do do do do do do... etc)

I heard the wings beat on the wind tonight

As the heat stole power from the darkening light.

I saw the streets fill up with people that I knew,

People who looked like you.

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake

We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break

Drift through the streets, walk between the cars

Newborn sons and daughters spat forth from distant stars

The summer will reveal itself to those whose hearts are true

And to the faithless few

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake

We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break

Who will rise and who will sink?

Who's going to stand his ground and who's going to blink?

Surge forward from Van Cortlandt Park ... like frightened sheep

Spirit throngs that hoist us high, three thousand warriors deep

Spray our dreams on any surface where the paint will stick

Try to time the rhythm, listen for the click

Rise if you're sleeping, stay awake

We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break
