[Verse 1] They built the gates from glass Every face on a screen Your little secrets fade In the places you've been Maps in the palm of your hand Names in a silver stream You can run from the frame But the frame still sees [Pre-Chorus] So look up, look up The sky is getting full Every wing in the line Every eye on the pull [Chorus] The future will not be private The future will not be private Join the flock and fly high to China Join the flock and fly high The future will not be private The future will not be private No lock on the open air No place to hide in there [Verse 2] They count the steps in the dark They count the steps in the sun Your pulse in a crowded car Your breath in a loaded thumb Say you want out, say you want peace Still the doors swing wide All the birds in the wire Learn the shape of the sky [Pre-Chorus] So look up, look up The sky is getting full Every wing in the line Every eye on the pull [Chorus] The future will not be private The future will not be private Join the flock and fly high to China Join the flock and fly high The future will not be private The future will not be private No lock on the open air No place to hide in there [Bridge] If you want a secret Hold it in your chest But the whole wide world Keeps leaning to the rest One by one, we rise One by one, we shine Then the sky says come And we all fall in line [Final Chorus] The future will not be private The future will not be private Join the flock and fly high to China Join the flock and fly high The future will not be private The future will not be private No lock on the open air No place to hide in there
