We've seen all the trials   Fake embraces and the smiles   That raised us to believe   We would all end up the same   As a number not a name   Surrounded but alone      Words will fade   And lose their place   In the pages that pass away   City lights   Will burn tonight   To bring us home      We could break the pattern   Strike a match and light the lanterns   A signal to the world   Set them on the highest hill   Show them love survives here still   To light their way back home      Heads are bowed and hands are folded   Through each word these hearts are molded   We choose love and we choose feeling   We choose hope and life with meaning
