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 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 darkest deep   Fools and their madness all around   Know that the light don't sleep      Step into the silence   Take it in your own   Two hands   And sprinkle it like diamonds   All across these lands   Blaze it in the morning   Wear it like an iron skin   Only things worth living for are   Innocence and magic, amen      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 darkest deep   Fools and their madness all around   Know that the light don't sleep      Woah, wooah      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 talk so cheap   Fools and their madness all around   Know that the light don't sleep   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
