Bedrock by Jessica Law Lyrics

Standing there upon the rooftop
Just about to hit the bedrock
Then I heard a voice: "Don't do it!
Here's your task, you must pursue it:

Live your life, you must be brave
And here's the person you must save
In turn." She handed me a photo -
"There's the one that you must go to"

So the chain went on, and we each saved one
To earn our place at the heart of the sun
To rest when our work is done
To rest when our work is done

Well, first I thought it was a prison
Then I saw upon the wizened
Ground beneath our feet, the flowers
Springing up, then all I saw was

One man in the corner watching
Handsome, 'til he saw you'd clocked him
Where he walked the flowers decayed
But I went with him anyway
And he sent me to sleep
To find the secrets hidden in our dreams
And when I awoke all the flowers were gone
And the prison was quiet and empty
The prison was quiet and empty

Now I'm searching high above the rooftops
Digging down beneath the bedrock
Never will I find that place
It's vanished now, without a trace

And once or twice I thought I saw it
Thought I caught a glimpse between
The shoppers and the real estate
Reminding me what my mistake was

Some of us give life, and some of us take it away
And now I know I chose the wrong one to save
And I'll never again be brave
I'll never again be brave
