TELL ME THERE’S A POINT TO ALL THIS PAIN, A SILVER LINING IN OUR SUFFERING. AS I CLIMB DOWN THESE STAIRS, AS I CARRY THIS WEIGHT, AS I FALL UNDER THE WEIGHT OF MY OWN DOUBT. IT’S BEEN SIX LONG YEARS AND I THINK I’VE WATCHED THE SHIMMER FADE.
I FOUND A LIGHT IN THIS BASEMENT, IT WON’T BURN OUT. I HELD THIS LIGHT AS A BEACON FOR ALL TO SEE, AND I CAN’T HELP BUT WONDER WHAT I’LL HOLD ON TO, IF THIS LIGHT SHOULD BURN OUT.
I FOUND A LIGHT TO CARRY ME THROUGH, IT ILLUMINATES EVERYTHING THAT I DO.
CHASING A BEACON THAT GLOWS IN THE DISTANCE. DEFENDING A FIRE THAT’S BURNING INSIDE ME. DARKNESS SWALLOWS DEEPER HOLLOW.
NO MATTER HOW DARK THE STORMS THAT MAY COME, REMEMBER THE BONDS WE MADE IN THE SUN.
I WAS A DITCH ALREADY DUG, BOTH FEET IN THE GRAVE, MY HEART SPILLING BLOOD. YOU WERE THE SILENCE OF OUR SUN EXPLODING IN SPACE, NOT A WORD IN YOUR MOUTH, BUT A LOOK ON YOUR FACE. I DON’T KNOW HOW WE GOT HERE, HOW THIS GREW SO FAR OUT OF OUR CONTROL, THAT THE NIGHT CONSUMED OUR FAMILIES, GATHERED THEM UP, AND SWALLOWED THEM WHOLE. SOMETIMES ALL YOU CAN DO IS STAND IN AWE OF THE DARKNESS YOU HAVE MADE, AND WONDER WHY THE LIGHT EVADES YOU, IS IT EVER COMING BACK, CAN ANY OF THIS BE SAVED. WE SAT THAT NIGHT, OUR EYES FIXED ON THE HORIZON, AS I TRIED FAITHFULLY TO EXPLAIN, THAT OUT OF EVERY DARKNESS A NEW DAY IS BORN.
I FOUND A LIGHT TO CARRY ME THROUGH, IT ILLUMINATES EVERYTHING THAT I DO.
