Continuing to Burn
Sunlight runs away from me
But we all love the view
Light and dark are friends you see, in a never ending duel
Blue skies fade to red then black, and we all see the stars
The same old stars the cavemen saw, gazing out to Mars
It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever
But I'm just feeling it now for the first time
It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better
It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright
Keep the light bright
Floating in the mountain tops, rising through the air
Smoking through the atmosphere, kind without a care
Gently drifting in the sea, slowly sinking down
Landing near a coral reef, resting on the ground
It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever
But I'm just feeling it now for the first time
It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better
It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright
Keep the light bright
Sunlight runs away from me
But never fails to return
Today could be your greatest day, but it could also be your worst
You might get a brand new car, you might get a raise
You might get locked behind bars, or get kicked in the face
It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever
But I'm just feeling it now for the first time
It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better
It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright
Keep the light bright
But we all love the view
Light and dark are friends you see, in a never ending duel
Blue skies fade to red then black, and we all see the stars
The same old stars the cavemen saw, gazing out to Mars
It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever
But I'm just feeling it now for the first time
It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better
It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright
Keep the light bright
Floating in the mountain tops, rising through the air
Smoking through the atmosphere, kind without a care
Gently drifting in the sea, slowly sinking down
Landing near a coral reef, resting on the ground
It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever
But I'm just feeling it now for the first time
It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better
It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright
Keep the light bright
Sunlight runs away from me
But never fails to return
Today could be your greatest day, but it could also be your worst
You might get a brand new car, you might get a raise
You might get locked behind bars, or get kicked in the face
It's the same old thing that people been feeling forever
But I'm just feeling it now for the first time
It's the grand illusion we paint that life gets better
It's the gas continuing to burn to keep the light bright
Keep the light bright
