What if I were to disobey

Give you back the power

Would I be punished like a child

And left on my own

Would you think me ungrateful

And send me away

If I couldn't make you happy

Cause empty handed leaving

As I was when I came

Tiptoeing through the rubble

And running through the flames

And running through the flames

And running through the flames

And running through the flames

What if I were to disobey

Give you back the power

Would you be the one to turn your back

And cast the first stone

Would you think me a coward

Though I be the hero

And come home a hero

I gave you back your power

I gave you back your glory

Well really I hadn't noticed

Until I had the power to give it all back

Until I felt the glory

When the buildings collapsed

When the buildings collapsed

Cause empty handed leaving

As I was when I came

Tiptoeing through the rubble

And running through the flames

And running through the flames

And running through the flames

And running through the flames

I gave you back your power

I gave you back your glory

Well really I hadn't noticed

Until I had the power to give it all back

Until I felt the glory

When the buildings collapsed

When the buildings collapsed

I gave you back your power

I gave you back your glory

I gave you back your glory

I gave you back your glory
