Atlas Under Neon

[Verse 1] He stands in the rain of stars Hands on the whole wide sky Shoulders cut from marble stone Still he never lets it die Dust on his ancient brow Feet in the ocean foam One man under all that weight Still he carries us home [Pre-Chorus] Lift, lift Don’t let go One more breath Hold it slow The crowd looks up To the giant above He bends, but he stays He is made of love [Chorus] Atlas, hold it high Atlas, don’t you drop Atlas, hold the world Atlas, never stop Atlas, hold it high Atlas, keep us whole Atlas, hold the world Hold the whole world, hold [Verse 2] Thunder moves through his bones Lightning on his skin Every time he almost falls He rises once again Children laugh in the streets They don’t know his name But every roof and every dream Sits safe inside his frame [Pre-Chorus] Lift, lift Hear the call One more step Carry all The night leans in The fear gets loud He stays like a mountain Above the crowd [Chorus] Atlas, hold it high Atlas, don’t you drop Atlas, hold the world Atlas, never stop Atlas, hold it high Atlas, keep us whole Atlas, hold the world Hold the whole world, hold [Bridge] When the weight gets cruel And the dark comes in He rolls his shoulders back And begins again We sing your name Through the fire glow Keep the sky in place Let the river flow [Final Chorus] Atlas, hold it high Atlas, don’t you drop Atlas, hold the world Atlas, never stop Atlas, hold it high Atlas, keep us whole Atlas, hold the world Hold the whole world, hold
