[Verse 1]
Take this silver lining, keep it in your own sweet head
And shine it when the night is burning red
Shine it in the twilight, shine it on the cold, cold ground
Shine it 'til these walls come tumbling down

[Chorus]
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope, now
Can you tell me why, time after time
They drag you down? Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

[Verse 2]
Step into the silence, take it in your own two hands
And scatter it like diamonds all across these lands, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Blaze it in the morning, wear it like an iron skin
Only things worth living for are innocence and magic, amen

[Chorus]
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope, now
Can you tell me why, time after time
They drag you down? Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
We were born with our eyes wide open
So alive with wild hope, now
Can you tell me why, time after time
They drag you down? Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep

[Outro]
Know that the light don't sleep
Time after time, they drag you down
Down in the darkness, deep
Fools in their madness all around
Know that the light don't sleep
Know that the light don't sleep
