KEEP THE LIGHT ON
Everybody's breaking
Everybody’s aching
Anyone who’s smiling
Must be surely faking.
A world full of darkness
Where everyone is heartless
A desperate need for justice
I know I can’t accomplish.
Everybody’s hiding
Everybody’s lying
The world now is fading
What’s the point in trying?
A world full of hatred
Where nothing is found sacred
A desperate need for faith in peace
I wish that I could still believe.
Hope is swallowed by the dark
As this world gets torn apart
But if tonight you are strong
Please keep the light on.
Everybody’s damned
To weak to even stand
We’re falling hard from grace
With no place to land.
A world going straight to hell
Our souls we so quickly sell
A desperate cry inside my heart
I just want to make it well.
Hope is swallowed by the dark
As this world gets torn apart
But if tonight you are strong
Please keep the light on.
We watch our leaders speak eloquent lies
And beat down those we marginalize
Wars are fought that we don’t want
We stand still while our world dies.
I know the problem starts inside
Building walls looking to hide
But can I even change a thing?
It doesn’t matter how hard I try.
I’m starting to doubt we can rise
Beyond our carnal desire to survive
Capitalists, terrorists, we’re all terrified
Looking for meanings to our lives
So dear love, if hope’s still in sight
Please lend me your strength tonight
Hold me in my darkest hour
And when you go, leave on the light.
Everbody’s praying
Everybody’s waiting
As angels look around
Is there anyone worth saving?
A world full of hurt and shame
Where we all point and blame
A desperate need for love and grace
I need to feel the healing reign.
Hope is swallowed by the dark
As this world gets blown apart
But if tonight you are strong
Please keep the light on.
