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
