[Intro — immediate, playful] Watch— Watch your step! Long way down. Lovely view. [Verse — quick, rhythmic] Top of the class with your chin held high Outside stairs and a whole lot of sky Names inked out, but we're still here Sewing little stones into the clothes we wear Gold on your collar, chalk on our hands Sunset city where the shadow lands Tower bell cracks and the lessons end Race you up to the edge again [Pre-Chorus — rising] Something's shaking Loose beneath Grab your coat— The stairs are leaving! [Chorus — lead with group responses, multilingual shouts in background] Watch your step! (Ashi moto, ki wo tsukete!) — Japanese, background The sky is giving way Watch your step! (Baljo josimhae!) — Korean, background We're going up anyway Stones in our coats And the wind in our hair Riftglass— (Riftglass!) (Cave gradum!) — Latin, whispered ensemble Who said we don't belong up there? [Brief instrumental — live strings racing, piano glassy over drums] [Bridge — intimate vocal, drums continue] The tower tilts You miss a stride I catch your sleeve— Don't ask me why [Final Chorus — full ensemble, multilingual lines fuller] Watch your step! (Ashi moto, ki wo tsukete!) The sky is giving way Watch your step! (Baljo josimhae!) We're going up anyway Stones in our coats And the wind in our hair Riftglass— ss!) (Cave gradum!) Who said we don't belong up there? The stairs are leaving! [Chorus — lead with group responses, multilingual shouts in background] Watch your step! (Ashi moto, ki wo tsukete!) — Japanese, background The sky is giving way Watch your step! (Baljo josimhae!) — Korean, background We're going up anyway Stones in our coats And the wind in our hair Riftglass— (Riftglass!) (Cave gradum!) — Latin, whispered ensemble Who said we don't belong up there? [Brief instrumental — live strings racing, piano glassy over drums] [Bridge — intimate vocal, drums continue] The tower tilts You miss a stride I catch your sleeve— Don't ask me why [Final Chorus — full ensemble, multilingual lines fuller] Watch your step! (Ashi moto, ki wo tsukete!) The sky is giving way Watch your step! [Chorus — lead with group responses, multilingual shouts in background] Watch your step! (Ashi moto, ki wo tsukete!) — Japanese, background The sky is giving way Watch your step! (Baljo josimhae!) — Korean, background We're going up anyway Stones in our coats And the wind in our hair Riftglass— (Riftglass!)

Who said we don't belong up there? [Outro — shouted over final accents] One. Two. Jump!
