[Verse 1] Every great leap Had a match in the dark Fire for the forge Or fire for the spark Printing press ink On a shaking hand Electric hum Changed the shape of the land [Pre-Chorus] Now it’s here In our palms tonight One tool can cage Or cut the night We can feed it fear We can feed it truth What we choose now Will choose our youth [Chorus] Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand You can burn the room Or help us stand Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand Use it to see Use it to understand [Verse 2] It can feed the maze And widen the split Make a thousand lies Look like the fit Or pull back the veil From the hidden bruise Turn the locked-up mind Into something loose [Pre-Chorus] One bright tool With a shadowed edge We can build a wall Or climb the ledge We can hand it doubt We can hand it grace Lift the blindfold off And face our face [Chorus] Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand You can burn the room Or help us stand Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand Use it to see Use it to understand [Bridge] Not to blind Not to break Not to feed The fear we make Let it reach Let it show Let it point To what we know [Final Chorus] Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand You can burn the room Or help us stand Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand Use it to see Use it to understand Torchlight in your hand Torchlight in your hand The fire can guide If we choose the light
