Borrowed Light

[Verse] You said truth is a moving door A shifting floor, a little more You said every voice can make it real If pain can fade, then wounds can heal I said why does the dark feel wrong Why does the weak still need a song Why does the heart cry out for right If all we hold is borrowed light [Chorus] We bend, we break, we still confess A restless soul will want more than less If all is smoke, then why this fight Why do we reach for borrowed light Borrowed light, borrowed light, borrowed light [Verse] You said worth is a thing we make A fragile vow we choose to take A hand in dust, a name in rain A private truth inside the pain But if the cruel can crown their lie And call it good while children cry Who holds the line when eyes go blind Who keeps the scales from cruel design [Chorus] We bend, we break, we still confess A restless soul will want more than less If all is smoke, then why this fight Why do we reach for borrowed light Borrowed light, borrowed light, borrowed light [Bridge] Round and round the voices fall One says nothing means at all One says love must carry law One says mercy heals the flaw Still the night cannot explain Why shame still burns, why hope remains Why hearts that doubt and hearts that pray Still fear the dark and seek the day [Chorus] We bend, we break, we still confess A restless soul will want more than less If all is smoke, then why this fight Why do we reach for borrowed light Borrowed light, borrowed light, borrowed light [Outro] So let the silence say its part I hear the trial inside the heart Past pride and noise, past wrong and right We all still ache for borrowed light
