Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now here we are
Children of the wild
Yeah, we bear the scars
Reminders of the pain
And the sacrifice
Yeah, the blood, sweat, and tears
That have paid the price
And we paid the price
[Verse 2]
But it's crazy how we wait so long
How we wait so long to come together
[Verse 3]
Ooh, when the river runs dry
And you have nothing left to give
And the stars have lost their shine
I will, I will burn for you
When the darkness comes
To try and steal your pride
Don't lose hope, you tell 'em
We are, we are made of light
[Verse 4]
So here I am
Take me if you want me
Pull me through your fire
Teach me how to learn
'Cause I'm so afraid
I don't know what it means to love
So afraid what I give is never enough
[Verse 5]
Yeah, it's crazy how we wait so long
How we wait so long to come together
[Verse 6]
Ooh, when the river runs dry
And you have nothing left to give
And the stars have lost their shine
I will, I will burn for you
When the darkness comes
To try and steal your pride
Don't lose hope, you tell 'em
We are, we are made of light
[Verse 7]
Whoa, I know you've been alone
(I know you've been alone)
Alone so long
(Been alone so long)
I see you though
(Ooh, when the darkness comes)
(I see you though)
In fullness of
(We will be holdin' on)
Defeat and pain
(Oh, no, we're not afraid)
And broken love
(We learned to chase the sun)
We wait until
(And where the river runs)
We're old enough
(I will be waitin' for you)
Till we are, we are made of light
(When darkness comes)
[Verse 8]
Ooh, when the river runs dry
And you have nothing left to give
And the stars have lost their shine
I will, I will burn for you
When the darkness comes
To try and steal your pride
Don't lose hope, you tell 'em
We are, we are made of light
[Verse 9]
Ooh, when the darkness comes
We will be holdin' on
Oh, no, we're not afraid
We learned to chase the sun
And where the river runs
I will be waiting for you
(We are, we are made of light)
When darkness comes
I will be waiting for you
You waited so long
We had to work alone
Never afraid of
Ever givin' the love
The wild children of
We will be holdin' on
('Cause we are, we are made of light)
Oh, no, we're not afraid
We learned to chase the sun
And where the river runs
You will be waitin' for me
And when the darkness comes
You will be waitin' for me
And when the darkness comes
We will be holdin' on
(We are, we are made of light)
