Take this silver lining
 Keep it in your own sweet head
 Shine it when the night is burning red
 Shine it in the twilight
 Shine it on the cold cold ground
 Shine it till these [bad word]  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 darkness deep
 Fools in their madness all around
 Know that the light don't sleep

 Step into the silence
 Take it in your own two hands
 And scatter it like diamonds
 All across these lands
 Blaze it in the morning
 Wear it like an iron skin
 Only things worth living for
 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 darkness deep
 Fools in their madness all around
 Know that the light don't sleep

 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 with talk so cheap

 Fools in 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
