You lit a fire in the darkness
the darkness did not overcome
while we were hopeless and wandering
You were the Breath in our lungs
You sang out Hope into the dead of night
and it echoed off the edge of time
said, “I’ll bend lower to find you
I’ve called you Mine.”

You lit a fire in the darkness
the darkness did not overcome
though we keep losing our minds here
You know the depth of our thoughts
You sang out Hope into the dead of night
and it echoed off the edge of time
said, “child, I made you on purpose
I’ve called you mine.”

“every broken piece will find its place again
and every twisted word you heard
in the night will be silent
the fever, it will break; the shadow, it will fade
until all that’s left is Light and Love
in the Dawn that never fades
on and on.”

You lit a fire in the darkness
the darkness did not overcome
though our walls keep on closing
You are the field where we’d run
You sang out hope into the dead of night
and it echoed off the edge of time
said, “this is not how it ends here
I’ve called you Mine.”

“and you can’t go back. no, you can’t go back.
though everything keeps fading
this fading here will end
and the Ever-Brilliant Word whispered
in the night will be shouted
the fever, it will break; the shadow, it will fade
until all that’s left is Light and Love
in the Dawn that never fades
on and on.”
