Skyscrapers

[Intro: Swizz Beatz] Yeah Time for us to the reach for the stars Talk Bono [Chorus: Bono] I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers [Verse 1: Swizz Beatz] Woke up in the mornin' from this dream that I had They said it was no more bombs on Baghdad I even heard there was peace out in Egypt Everybody in the streets representin' they freedom I heard the recession was over now (Yes) Peace signs in the air, bring back the soldiers now I even seen a stone-fiend turn sober now Things are gettin' better now, damn, how the world goes around [Chorus: Bono] I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers [Verse 2: Swizz Beatz] Woke up in the mornin' from this dream that I had They said poverty in the world wasn't comin' back I even heard the doctor killed cancer in the lab The educational system made a big comeback Damn, it was all bad a week ago We pray to the most high to let our dreams flow We pray to the most high to let our dreams grow You got dreams of skyscrapers, let the world know, oh [Chorus: Bono] I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers [Verse 3: Kanye West] My hands scrape the sky, I can't escape this high Sometimes I felt like I just couldn't wait to die If I fall, I can't fly, can't hate the sky For not slowin' me down before I hit the ground Before I hit the town, I used to hit the weed Try to hang around thieves just tryna get degrees But I end up 'round rats just tryna get the cheese It ain't gotta be all that, I ain't beggin', but, bitch, please [Chorus: Bono] I've seen coal turn to diamonds And blind man's visions become skyscrapers What begun as a scene is no longer a dream Let's become skyscrapers, skyscrapers [Outro: Bono] Put your hands up and touch the sky Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers Put your hands high and touch the sky Put your hands high and touch the skyscrapers Breezes in the summer comin' sky In jungles through the life of flashin' lights Feel for the, feel for For
