- Songwriters: David Gray
Take this silver lining
Keep it in your own sweet head
And shinin' when
The night is burnin' red
Shine it in the twilight
Shine it on the cold, cold ground
Shine it till these walls come
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 this land
Yeah, yea, yea, yea, yea, yea
Blazin' in the morning
Wearin' like an iron skin
Only things worth livin' for
Are 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 in the darkness deep
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
In the Know
