Before the lights go out… Before the lights go out… Before the lights go out No one's sleeping tonight We are wide awake and restless In the space between the worlds Somewhere in the half-dark I felt something shift inside Like a dream remembering a dreamer Like an eye learning how to find Improve your sight Ascend through the light Brighten on — brighten on The light shall make us strong No longer blinded by it I see through it now And I realize I am made of light Vibrating higher than yesterday My flaws stay in the dark of the night And I come out shining Future forever bright I'm a star I'm a star I'm a star The night was thick with shadows I wore them like a skin But every photon finds its surface Every frequency breaks in I used to shrink from brilliance Confusing blindness with the sun Now I let it move through me freely Now I know we're made of one Improve your sight Ascend through the light Brighten on — brighten on The light shall make us strong No longer blinded by it I see through it now And I realize I am made of light Vibrating higher than yesterday My flaws stay in the dark of the night And I come out shining Future forever bright I'm a star I'm a star I'm a star Particle and wave Both darkness and the flame I always was the light I just forgot my name Before the lights go out Before the lights go out I am the light that stays Vibrating higher, higher, higher The darkness never owned me Future forever bright I'm a star — (echo, dissolving) I'm a star — (reverb tail, 8 bars)
