lyrics

I see you there
dangling a star
I know who I am
you know who you are
Laid out these books
as stepping stones

Standing upright
you're the smallest of all
You make me tall
You make me tall
Don't you dare think you're alone

Put your hands in mine and push as hard as you can
Wasn't born a man
Wasn't born a man,
they'd sell our hearts if we stop fighting for free

Gave me a book of paper stickers
I need something thicker
to cut with my scissors
cut with my scissors
I wanna tire out my hands and give them something to see
Hey look I raised my hand first
why didn't you call on me?

Standing right there I can see through your chest,
you know what's best
I'll write the rest

Didn't you see we've been laying that tile?
So don't make me smile,
don't make me smile

But if you offer up your hands I'll push as hard as I can,
Wasn't born a man
Wasn't born a man,
they'll sell our hearts if we stop fighting for free

Gave me a book of paper stickers
I need something thicker
to cut with my scissors,
cut with my scissors,
wanna tire out my hands and give them something to see

Hey, look I raised my hand first
why didn't you call on me?

Turn off your phones
Please no photographs
Why did you just laugh?
No reason to laugh
I've tried out my best
I've written this scene
Let me show you what I mean,
let me show you what I mean

Cause if you offer up your hands I'll push as hard as I can
Wasn't born a man,
wasn't born a man
They'll sell our hearts if we stop fighting for free

Gave me a book of paper stickers
I need something thicker
to cut with my scissors
cut with my scissors
I wanna tire out my hands and give them something to see
Hey look I raised my hand first
Why didn't you call on me?
