Brighter Than Apathy

Seems like I can't put a dent in this I stand on the edge of the abyss When hope in the dark seems foolish How we ever gonna make it through this? I got one spark in the dimness One fuze lit - it feels useless I'm lost on my own I can't do this With just five loaves and just two fish I got my microphone and my music This voice I own - I'm gonna use it One note at a time in a firefight Pushing back on the shadow in the twilight And the movement's unstoppable If you got your soul I got rock and roll When they're bought and sold We don't stop or fold Wake up blue fire from the days of old I want to live for something Bigger than me Stronger than fear Brighter than apathy Trade in your caution in for courage Give me action - not your words One spark catches a fire One voice becomes a choir We are tile - you and I We're fragile but we don't break When we come together we're mosaic And we brave the weather and the cold rain Thoughts and prayers are nice but they won't suffice Give me bravery - give me sacrifice I'm not looking for your pity - I want your life I'm looking for the city of radiant light On the hill that we're descending on It's your will that they're depending on Your voice - your youth - your time - your art Your song - your life - your rhyme - your heart What will you spend it on? What will we spend it on? And when we're gone In ages to come the sages will write So raged the bearers of the light So waged the few with all their might Against the terrors of the night With no site in view / from the depths to the heights I want to live for something Bigger than me Stronger than fear Brighter than apathy With all my rivers running out of the deep Through the frontier Into the glassy sea Wake up my soul - my soul
