Take the silver lining

keep it in your own sweet hand

then shine it when the light is burning red

shine it in the twilight

shine it on the cold cold ground

shine it till these walls come tumbling down

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 there the light don't sleep

Step into the silence

take it in your own sweet hands

and sprinkle it like diamonds

all accross these lands

blazing in the morning

wearing like an iron skin

only thing's worth living for are innocence and magic baby

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 there the light don't sleep

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 there the light don't sleep

know there the light don't sleep

don't sleep

Time after time they drag you down

down in the darkness deep

fools in their madness all around

know there the light don't sleep

know there the light don't sleep
