Come raise your lantern to the sky While the world sleeps we are awake Can we illuminate this night We'll dance like heathens round our flame And let's illuminate this night (Raise your lantern to the sky) This night will fall like any other Daylight

It's alright These whereabouts unknown Please know you can come home I long for the moment Our silence is broken It's alright now To the ends of this lost world You have marched and you have sworn To a tainted crown of thorns

There was magic in the air it was everywhere that we touched down The carnival ride and the high we were on as it went around In case you don't remember It was us against the world and you swore girl that we'd never surrender But I still can't forget you

When we're hungry, love will keep us alive Now I've found you, there's no more emptiness inside I was standing all alone against the world outside You were searching for a place to hide Lost and lonely, now you've given me the will to survive Don't you

Wait for me now Take off this crown To break all that defiles Don't you know? The end's robbed me now Wait for me, wait for me Wait for me, wait for me now Do you see the world in different colors? Do you see the world in black and gray?

I know a girl from an island She stands apart from the crowd She loves the sea and her people She makes her whole family proud Sometimes the world seems against you The journey may leave a scar But scars can heal and reveal just Where you are The people

Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Papers I'm ready to sign them papers, papers, papers I done took all I can take but you leave me no options girl For you I gave my heart and turned my back against the world I done damn near lost my mama, I done been through so much drama

Spin out of control Try to recover, but collide with each other We spin out of control There, high on the watchtower Keeping the peace Whatever that means 'Cause you see the world through Cross hairs and TVs don't you Ten foot walls built around us

If I held my ground would you ask me to change This drought bleeds on now we're dancing for rain These worlds collide but the distance remains We point the finger, never accept the blame and I know, I know We drink the air but its so not the same Were

A hero of war Yeah that's what I'll be And when I come home They'll be damn proud of me I'll carry this flag To the grave if I must Cause it's a flag that I love And a flag that I trust He said son, have you seen the world?
