The Lighthouse

I have my scars, you have yours Don't let them take your power Don't leave it alone in the final hours They'll take your soul, they'll take your power Don't close your eyes and hope for the best The dark is out there The light is going fast Until the final hours Your life's forever changed And all the rights that you had yesterday Are taken away And now you're afraid You should be afraid Should be afraid Because everything I fought for Long ago in a dream is gone Someone said the dream is not over The dream has just begun, or Is it a nightmare? Is it a lasting scar? It is, unless you save it And that's that Unless you stand up And take it back And take it back I have my scars, you have yours Don't let them take your power Don't leave it alone in the final hours They'll take your soul, they'll take your power Unless you stand up And take it back Try to see the future And get mad It's slippin' through your fingers You don't have what you had You don't have much time To get it back I wanna be the lighthouse Bring all of you together Bring it out in a song Bring it out in stormy weather Tell them the story I wanna teach 'em to fight I wanna tell 'em This has happened before Don't let it happen again I have my scars, you have yours Don't let them take your power Don't leave it alone in the final hours They'll take your soul, they'll take your power Unless you save it And that's that Unless you stand up And take it back Try to see the future And get mad It's slippin' through your fingers You don't have what you had You don't have much time You've gotta get in the game You've gotta learn how to play You've gotta make a change, you've gotta do it today In the midnight hour, they'll slam the door Make you forget what you were fighting for Put you back in your place, they'll shut ya down You better learn how to fight You better say it out loud
