We take a seat when the skies about to explode
Why take cover when you can look up and wait
Life still happens around you when you're not in it
As possibility dies and the heart gets cold instinct no longer serves you

Let us hold a light to warm sorrow
Let us hold a light to crack the darkness
Let us hold a light to carry the future
Let us hold a light to save what lost you

To fill the air with notions of beauty,
Can carry through for those forgotten
Let us not arrest ourselves to thoughts of trouble
Let us be of those who explode with greatness
