Bright Lights
I can see the future coming with its bright lights on
I don't know how I see it but I do
It's just around the bend from where we've always been
It is righteous, it is ready, it is true
On their knees in Ferguson, the tear gas burns their eyes
While memories of Birmingham ring true
As children cross the border clutching nothing but goodbyes
It's as if we can't remember they're the same as me and you
But I can see the future coming with its bright lights on
I don't know how I see it but I do
It's just around the bend from where we've always been
It is righteous, it is ready, it is true
The future isn't found just casting blame and shouting names
We must keep on moving forward, things cannot remain the same
Cast off the bonds of hatred, we will fly, never fall
But the wind is at our back, we must stand when we are called
With our bright lights on
Despite the hue and cry of sirens in the streets
(sirens in the streets)
Despite all appearance of conflict and defeat
There are those who walk among us with the light still in their eyes
(light still in their eyes)
They see us all as equals, they are angels in disguise
With their bright lights on
I don't know how I see it, but I do
It's just around the bend from where we've always been
It is righteous
We are ready
It is true
I don't know how I see it but I do
It's just around the bend from where we've always been
It is righteous, it is ready, it is true
On their knees in Ferguson, the tear gas burns their eyes
While memories of Birmingham ring true
As children cross the border clutching nothing but goodbyes
It's as if we can't remember they're the same as me and you
But I can see the future coming with its bright lights on
I don't know how I see it but I do
It's just around the bend from where we've always been
It is righteous, it is ready, it is true
The future isn't found just casting blame and shouting names
We must keep on moving forward, things cannot remain the same
Cast off the bonds of hatred, we will fly, never fall
But the wind is at our back, we must stand when we are called
With our bright lights on
Despite the hue and cry of sirens in the streets
(sirens in the streets)
Despite all appearance of conflict and defeat
There are those who walk among us with the light still in their eyes
(light still in their eyes)
They see us all as equals, they are angels in disguise
With their bright lights on
I don't know how I see it, but I do
It's just around the bend from where we've always been
It is righteous
We are ready
It is true
