Swizz Beatz, Kanye West, Bono - Skyscrapers lyrics

Yeah time for us to the reach for the stars
Talk 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

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

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

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 education system made a big comeback
Damn, it was all 'bout 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

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

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

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

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
