Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately, I've found
When I start to think aloud
There's a longing in the sound
There is more I could be
[Verse 2]
In darkness, I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be
[PreChorus]
We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road
[Chorus]
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
'Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
[Verse 3]
As we walk out
Without question, without doubt
In the light that we have found
It is finally clear
Our day has come
And we'll stand for who we are
We are ready, we are young
We have nothing to fear
[PreChorus]
We never carried days on our own
But now it's up to us to know
The weight of being so much more
We will find ourselves on the road
[Chorus]
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
'Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
[Bridge]
We held the light
To our faces
And realised
We were chasing
Shadows behind
Not worth saving
So burn it bright
Forever illuminating
[Chorus]
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
'Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
With a midnight song
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
On we march
'Till we meet the dawn
We will light our way
With our lanterns on
[Outro]
In darkness, I leave
For a place I've never seen
It's been calling out to me
That is where I should be
