|
Take this silver lining |
|
Keep it in your own sweet head |
|
And shine it when the night is burning red |
|
Shine it in the twilight |
|
Shine it on the cold, cold ground |
|
Shine it till these walls come tumbling 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 darkest deep |
|
Fools and their madness all around |
|
Know that the light don't sleep |
|
Step into the silence |
|
Take it in your own two hands |
|
And sprinkle it like diamonds all across these lands |
|
Blaze it in the morning |
|
Got to wear it like an iron skin |
|
Only things worth living 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 so deep |
|
Fools and their madness all around |
|
Know that the light don't sleep |
|
Know that the light don't sleep |
