She's wisdom with eyes open
Yet we're standing in her shadow scared
No need to be out in the ocean
I hate swimming when the water's not there

You're worried yet the future's bright
Trust is slight, often hard to find
It's just talk, we're just talking I can see
You're more than they make you out to be

Be there if you just can't find
Be there when you've lost your way
Be there if you just don't mind
Be there when you're world's sideways

Hold up and try to understand my plea
Hold up 'We call it Empathy'

Victory is like joy with a cost
It only matters in the long run
If you learn to count your loss
When all that's left is their judgment
So choose to be free like the weekend
Are you free like the weekend
Are you free

Be there if you just can't find
Be there when you've lost your way
Be there if you just don't mind
Be there when you're world's sideways

Hold up and try to understand my plea
Hold up 'We call it Empathy'

Be there if you just can't find
Be there when you've lost your way
Be there if you just don't mind
Be there when you're world's sideways

Hold up and try to understand my plea
Hold up 'We call it Empathy'
