Take this silver lining
|
Keep it in your own sweet head
|
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 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
|
Blaze it in the morning
|
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 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 with talk so cheap
|
|
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
|
