The Lighthouse

I have my scars, you have yours
Don't let them take your power
Don't leave it alone in the final hours
They'll take your soul, they'll take your power

Don't close your eyes and hope for the best
The dark is out there
The light is going fast
Until the final hours
Your life's forever changed
And all the rights that you had yesterday
Are taken away
And now you're afraid
You should be afraid
Should be afraid

Because everything I fought for
Long ago in a dream is gone
Someone said the dream is not over
The dream has just begun, or

Is it a nightmare?
Is it a lasting scar?
It is, unless you save it
And that's that
Unless you stand up
And take it back
And take it back

I have my scars, you have yours
Don't let them take your power
Don't leave it alone in the final hours
They'll take your soul, they'll take your power

Unless you stand up
And take it back
Try to see the future
And get mad
It's slippin' through your fingers
You don't have what you had
You don't have much time
To get it back

I wanna be the lighthouse
Bring all of you together
Bring it out in a song
Bring it out in stormy weather
Tell them the story

I wanna teach 'em to fight
I wanna tell 'em
This has happened before
Don't let it happen again

I have my scars, you have yours
Don't let them take your power
Don't leave it alone in the final hours
They'll take your soul, they'll take your power

Unless you save it
And that's that
Unless you stand up
And take it back
Try to see the future
And get mad
It's slippin' through your fingers
You don't have what you had
You don't have much time

You've gotta get in the game
You've gotta learn how to play
You've gotta make a change, you've gotta do it today
In the midnight hour, they'll slam the door
Make you forget what you were fighting for
Put you back in your place, they'll shut ya down
You better learn how to fight
You better say it out loud
