[Intro] Yeah. Look around. Too many walls, not enough bridges. It’s time to break the cycle. Let's go. [Verse 1] Walking down the pavement, heavy in the chest Everybody’s running, trying to outrun the stress We look away from the eyes that are begging for a hand Building up our castles made of shifting desert sand We pass the blame, yeah, we pass it down the line Saying "I’ve got my own problems, I don’t have the time" But a cold heart only breeds a colder winter storm And a spark is all it takes to keep a broken spirit warm. [Pre-Chorus ] We build the fences way too high And watch the sparks of mercy die But in the dark, we hold the key To set each other free... [Chorus ] BE THE LIGHT THAT BREAKS THE SHADOWS! REACH YOUR HAND ACROSS THE DIVIDE! We are the bleeding hearts, we are the echo in the dark! Don't let the cold world change who you are! (Pick it up, pick it up now!) HEAL THE SCARS WE WROTE TOGETHER! Lift the weight before we fall! (It takes one spark! We rise by lifting them all!) [Verse 2] It’s a domino effect, every word that you speak Can either crush a soul or give strength to the weak It’s not about the wealth or the power in your palm It’s the silence you break when you offer up a calm So look past the reflection in your own glass screen See the fractured lives standing right in between We can bleed out in silence, or we can choose to mend This is where the cynicism has to find its end. [Pre-Chorus ] We build the fences way too high And watch the sparks of mercy die But in the dark, we hold the key To set each other free... [Chorus ] BE THE LIGHT THAT BREAKS THE SHADOWS! REACH YOUR HAND ACROSS THE DIVIDE! We are the bleeding hearts, we are the echo in the dark! Don't let the cold world change who you are! (Pick it up, pick it up now!) HEAL THE SCARS WE WROTE TOGETHER! Lift the weight before we fall! (It takes one spark! We rise by lifting them all!) [Bridge] I can’t do this alone... We can’t survive on our own... Break the cycle! BREAK THE CYCLE! Turn the tide! TURN THE TIDE! No more running! NO MORE RUNNING! FROM THE LIGHT INSIDE!!! [Final Chorus] BE THE LIGHT THAT BREAKS THE SHADOWS! (Yeah, reach your hand out!) REACH YOUR HAND ACROSS THE DIVIDE! We are the bleeding hearts, we are the echo in the dark! Don't let the cold world change who you are! HEAL THE SCARS WE WROTE TOGETHER! (No more walls, no more borders!) LIFT THE WEIGHT BEFORE WE FALL! WE RISE BY LIFTING THEM ALL! [Outro] Yeah. Pass it on. Before the light is gone.
