I was lost in all the wonder
My head to strong for far too long
Yeah I was blind, I couldn’t see
That only time would set me free
When the lights go dark and you can feel it all around
It’s like you’ve missed the mark and all the world weighs you down
When you knew right from the start but things still came apart
Sometimes it takes the dark for you to see
How magnificent this life can be
I found my place in all the color
Feared I couldn’t change, I couldn’t stay the same
Yeah, upon my knees before a violent sea
I saw the lights guiding me
But when the lights go dark and you can feel it all around
It’s like you’ve missed the mark and all the world weighs you down
When you knew right from the start but it still broke your heart
Sometimes it takes the dark for you to see
How magnificent this life can be
Have you seen the lightning crack the sky
Felt the sun defy the night
Seen all the colors in disguise, if you’d open your eyes to love
You’d see where the river meets the sea
How two stranger’s hearts make a symphony
How everybody’s at war for a little peace
Just open your eyes love
And you can see from where you stand that you’re not
some rubberband stretching your heart out until it cracks
Are you scared that you can’t go back?
