Brighter Than Apathy
[Verse]
Seems like I can't put a dent in this
I stand on the edge of the abyss
When hope in the dark seems foolish
How we ever gonna make it through this?
I got one spark in the dimness
One fuse lit - it feels useless
I'm lost on my own I can't do this
With just five loaves and just two fish
I got my microphone and my music
This voice I own - I'm gonna use it
One note at a time in a firefight
Pushing back on the shadow in the twilight
And the movement's unstoppable
If you got your soul I got rock and roll
When they're bought and sold
We don't stop or fold
Wake up blue fire from the days of old
[Chorus]
I want to live for something
Bigger than me
Stronger than fear
Brighter than apathy
[Verse 2]
Trade in your caution in for courage
Give me action not your words
One spark catches a fire
One voice becomes a choir
We are tile - you and I
We're fragile but we don't break
When we come together we're mosaic
And we brave the weather and the cold rain
Thoughts and prayers are nice but they won't suffice
Give me bravery - give me sacrifice
I'm not looking for your pity - I want your life
I'm looking for the city of radiant light
On the hill that we're descending on
It's your will that they're depending on
Your voice, your youth, your time, your art
Your song, your life, your rhyme, your heart
What will you spend it on?
What will we spend it on?
And when we're gone
In ages to come the sages will write
So raged the bearers of the light
So waged the few with all their might
Against the terrors of the night
With no site in view
Rom the depths to the heights
[Chorus]
I want to live for something
Bigger than me
Stronger than fear
Brighter than apathy
With all my rivers running out of the deep
Through the frontier
Into the glassy sea
[Interlude]
[Reprise]
Wake up my soul, my soul
Wake up my soul, my soul
[Chorus]
I want to live for something
Bigger than me
Stronger than fear
Brighter than apathy
With all my rivers running out of the deep
Through the frontier
Into the glassy sea
[Interlude]
[Reprise]
Wake up my soul, my soul
Wake up my soul, my soul
