Down by the train yard gate You can hear it all at once Forklifts, horns, and footsteps Dust on a lunch-pail front I kept my head down low Kept my name in the crowd Then I climbed one slow stair And the whole thing fell down [Pre-Chorus] From up here, it changes The noise turns small The fear starts shaking At the edge of it all [Chorus] When you rise above the hustle and bustle You see the truth more clearly When you rise above the hustle and bustle The road keeps opening, believe me New horizons are endless space New horizons are endless space [Verse 2] I saw rooflines in rows And the river make its mark A kid kicked a red ball Through the alley after dark Every face looked familiar Every wound looked old But the sky kept making room For a better way to go [Pre-Chorus] From up here, it changes The rush breaks free What looked like a wall Turns into a sea [Chorus] When you rise above the hustle and bustle You see the truth more clearly When you rise above the hustle and bustle The road keeps opening, believe me New horizons are endless space New horizons are endless space [Bridge] I used to chase every shout Every hand in the haze Now I follow the quiet That leads me away No more running in circles No more selling my breath I can see past the edge now And I like what comes next [Final Chorus] When you rise above the hustle and bustle You see the truth more clearly When you rise above the hustle and bustle The road keeps opening, believe me New horizons are endless space New horizons are endless space When you rise above the hustle and bustle
