[VERSE 1] We came from different rooms of darkness Different names for being afraid Different storms behind our windows Different prices that we paid Some arrived with voices shaking Some with anger like a shield Some had forgotten what was broken Some had forgotten how to feel [PRE-CHORUS] But one by one the sparks awakened One by one we crossed the night Not waiting for the dawn to find us Learning how to make the light [CHORUS] We become the light Not because the night surrendered Not because the wounds were small But because we stood together We become the light Every color, every scar When the darkness asks who saved us We will show it who we are [VERSE 2] We are not a perfect ending We still tremble, we still grieve But hope is not the absence of it Hope is choosing not to leave Every hand becomes a promise Every voice becomes a door Every heart that tells the truth now Makes it safer for one more [BUILD] From the static to the silence From the mirror to the flame From the wire to the blackout We reclaimed our stolen names Every halo hit the pavement Every false machine went still And the scars we once kept hidden Became stars no dark could kill [BREAKDOWN - SCREAM AND GANG VOCALS] WE ARE NOT WAITING FOR A SAVIOR WE ARE NOT KNEELING TO THE NIGHT HAND IN HAND ABOVE THE RUINS WE BECOME WE BECOME THE LIGHT [FINAL CHORUS] We become the light Not because the night surrendered Not because the wounds were small But because we stood together We become the light Every color, every scar When the darkness asks who saved us We will show it who we are We become the light And we carry one another Through the distance, through the doubt Until no one is left under We become the light No borrowed sun, no distant star We are everything we needed We remember who we are [OUTRO - CHOIR] We are still here We are still here We are the light We are still here
