Lyrics:
All rise
All fall
I’ll fail you all
We built these cities to stand so tall
We’ve lost
Our wall
I don’t want to lose you coming down with the whole world upside down
I don’t have a soul to trust in now with the whole world upside down
We are one tonight and we’re singing it out
We are one tonight and we’re dreaming out loud
Though the world is flawed these scars will heal
We are one tonight
Two eyes
One tongue
I’ve come undone
I’m no victim
I’ve paid these dues
I came to lose
I don’t want to fight about it now with the whole world upside down
I don’t have a soul to trust in now with the whole world upside down
I don’t want to lose the common ground
with the whole world upside down
I don’t want to fight about it now in a world that’s burning out
Let’s slow the evening down, slow it down, slow down
Please slow down, down, down
The stars are coming out

Behind the Song:
“This was the last track we pulled out for the record. We camped out for a day in a studio called The Pass that a friend of fields owns- such a great place! I think I want to rent it out and live there. Pool table, kitchen, shower, couch, and a room to cut drums in... Honestly, what more could a guy want?! Chad gets to the studio and hobbles in on his crutches with a badly sprained ankle and proceeds to destroy the kick with an iron foot. That was a gratifying sight to see! Glad we could get the wook in on the record too- if it wasn't for this last minute addition we wouldn't have been graced with his name on the credits.” – Jon Foreman (Switchfoot)
