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
