“When the lights come crashing down on the darkness,
If you hold my hand, I’ll pull you through this fight.
When your eyes get tired, listen to my heart,
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright”
Awake for an honest moment,
exclaimed by a deep blue sky.
The fear of the world around me,
a dissolving lie.
A voice in the silence carries,
Such love, and I don’t know why.
The breath of a thousand lifetimes,
in a single sigh.
“When the lights come crashing down on the darkness,
If you hold my hand, I’ll pull you through this fight.
When your eyes get tired, listen to my heart,
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright”
Braced for a great collision,
Straining against the dark,
The weight of a law unspoken,
On a heavy heart.
So far from the place we came from,
So lost in a world so small,
Two feet on a path for mercy
as the bright lights fall.
We’re never so far gone that grace won’t find us.
The flares in the sky will lead you home.
And I might fall apart but I won’t leave you, I won’t let go.
Cause I can see the world that’s on your shoulders,
and the miles in the dark you had to walk,
and you can fall apart, the pain can break your heart,
I won’t let go.
“When the lights come crashing down on the darkness,
If you hold my hand, I’ll pull you through this fight.
When your eyes get tired, listen to my heart,
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright”
“When the lights come crashing down on the darkness,
Oh the ground may shake but I will hold you tight.
When your eyes get tired, listen to my heart,
it’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright.”
