I have seen the centuries of
Glimmers soaked in frightened dreams
Of stooping underneath the rooftops
Hiding beneath the canopy
To block out all the light, easier to close our eyes
Live and die in the shadows of night
And tie down the mystery in the name of certainty
But tell me, when do we decide to shine?
Do we even know what this light is all for?
Do we even know that this time is all ours?
I know how to fly and I know how to fall I can’t
Bear to deny it anymore
And I have watched the wasted years of
Walking within the city walls
Of enemies and cannonballs
Never to fly for the fear of falling
But we have waited too long in the shadows
All the safe rides never going where we belong
And I’m gonna let my song fly in front of me
And if I fall it won’t be in the place I was born
Do we even know what this light is all for?
Do we even know that this time is all ours?
I know how to fly and I know how to fall I can’t
Bear to deny it anymore
So liberate your love
Obliterate it all
Open up your eyes and see
Become who you were born to be
Liberate your love
Turn it all to dust
Step out of the shadows
Nothing else is needed but the moment we can sing it out
Do we even know what this light is all for?
Do we even know that this time is all ours?
I know how to fly and I know how to fall I can’t
Bear to deny it anymore
Do we even know what this light is all for?
Do we even know that this time is all ours?
I know how to fly and I know how to fall I can’t
Bear to deny it anymore
Do we even know what this light is all for?
Do we even know that this time is all ours?
I know how to fly and I know how to fall I can’t
Bear to deny it anymore
