Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We may not yet have reached our glory
But I will gladly join the fight
And when our children tell their story
They'll tell the story of tonight
They'll tell the story of tonight, tonight
[Verse 2]
Have you ever felt like nobody was there?
Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?
Have you ever felt like you could disappear?
Like you could fall and no one would hear?
[Verse 3]
Well, let that lonely feeling wash away
(All we see is light)
'Cause maybe there's a reason to believe you'll be okay
(For forever) 'Cause when you don't feel strong enough to stand
You can reach, reach out your hand
And oh
[Verse 4]
Raise a glass to freedom
Something they can never take away
(Oh) No matter what they tell you
(Someone will come running to take you home)
Raise a glass to all of us
Tomorrow there'll be more of us
Telling the story of tonight
(Out of the shadows, the morning is breaking)
They'll tell the story of tonight
(And all is new) All is new
(All is new) It's only a matter of time
[Verse 5]
Even when the dark comes crashing through
When you need a friend to carry you
When you're broken on the ground
You will be found
[Verse 6]
So let the sun come streaming in
'Cause you'll reach up and you'll rise again
If you only look around
You will be found
[Verse 7]
And when our children tell their story
(You will be found)
They'll tell the story of tonight
(Woah, oh, oh, oh)
No matter what they tell you
(Tomorrow there'll be more of us)
Telling the story of tonight
The story of tonight
