Lyrics

Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own sweet head
And shine it when the night is
Burnin' red
Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold, cold ground
Shine it till these walls come tumblin' down
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope, now
Can you tell me why?
Time after time, they drag you down
Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Step into the silence
Take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds
All across these lands
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Blaze it in the mornin'
Wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth livin' for
Innocence and magic, amen
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope, now
Can you tell me why?
Time after time, they drag you down
Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope, now
Can you tell me why?
Time after time, they drag you down
Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time, they drag you down
Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep
