Lyrics The National

The National

Forever After Days

On my feet I stand tonight

Stand and step up to the light

An extraordinary man

Unbroken in a breaking light

Forever after days

Stand and make myself a crown

To the table I step alone

Hold my own above the ground

Take my shot under the light

Heroes come the common way

Pull myself into the sky

Wrap me in the banner I made

On my feet I stand tonight

Stand alone inside the air

An extraordinary man

Everything stops and holds me there

Forever after days

Stand and make myself a crown

To the table I step alone

And hold my own above the ground

Take my shot under the light

Heroes come the common way

Pull myself into the sky

Wrap me in the banner I made

Forever after days

Stand and make myself a crown

To the table I step alone

And hold my own above the ground

Take my shot under the light

Heroes come the common way

Pull myself into the sky

Wrap me in the banner I made
