In the Darkness

Dried out lakes where life belonged

(The eternal slumber)

Behold the shadows we have drawn

And I dream about a time

When the hopeless come alive

In the darkness I'll stand tall

Use my breath to blow down barriers

The uprising held by all

Will relieve them, live again

A bridge of light may fall

I'll build a raft of hope and bravery

We will sail a new wave

Into days broad and strange

A spark endowed ignites the sky

(Can you hear the thunder?)

As creatures lurk beneath its eye

Oh, is this a wishful call

Or the word sung by the wise?

Will sorrow's curtain fall

Is this our sign to rise?

In the darkness I'll stand tall

Use my breath to blow down barriers

The uprising held by all

Will relieve them, live again

A bridge of light may fall

I'll build a raft of hope and bravery

We will sail a new wave

Into days broad and strange

Time for surety and calm

Left for dead under the storm

No gospel holds us when we're gone

But we're not there yet

Wisdom carried in the breeze

Like rolling hills across the sea

Our time will come to be at ease

But we're not there yet

We belong in the air

And we know

We belong in the waves

As the seasons come around

Will we find ourselves?

Can we let go

Of our ways?

In the darkness I'll stand tall

Use my breath to blow down barriers

The uprising held by all

Will relieve them, live again

A bridge of light may fall

I'll build a raft of hope and bravery

We will sail a new wave

Into days broad and strange

We will break every wave

Into waters we've shaped

To change
