love.<\/p>\n<p>Sleeping through performances<\/p>\n<p>That once got me high<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d forgotten how it felt<\/p>\n<p>To look into your eyes<\/p>\n<p>Out on the streets the word is caution<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t you become an easy mark<\/p>\n<p>But though the thieves of love may rob me<\/p>\n<p>Tonight I&#8217;ll sing this song.<\/p>\n<p>Under this rising star,<\/p>\n<p>Oh, there\u2019s this rising star<\/p>\n<p>Of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>Empty conversations where self-pity lies<\/p>\n<p>Can we stand up to the reality of the world outside?<\/p>\n<p>Expect the clash of love and anger as the Empire starts to fall<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all a little tired of fighting<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s all stand up for all.<\/p>\n<p>Under this rising star,<\/p>\n<p>Oh, there\u2019s a rising

of change and yearning<\/p>\n<p>Where the neon falls from sight<\/p>\n<p>And there&#8217;s a rising star of freedom<\/p>\n<p>And it shines on us tonight<\/p>\n<p>Picture the aura that connects us all<\/p>\n<p>This circle of reunion just before the Fall<\/p>\n<p>And we&#8217;ll dance and dance and sing our songs<\/p>\n<p>And renew our vows once more<\/p>\n<p>That in the crossfire of our
