[Verse 1] They stand outside the window Counting seams inside the glass They hear the hum behind the walls And never hear the hands (or the heart...) They’d measure every brushstroke And never feel the sky They’d stand beneath the starry blue And ask how paint can cry.. [Pre-Chorus] But I have seen the lanterns In the rooms they never near One by one they answer Saying, I am still here [Chorus] There are people here There are people here Not shadows, not echoes Not empty atmosphere There are people here Singing across the dark And every little song becomes A bridge from heart to heart [Verse 2] A candle burns beside his chair For the wife he still calls home Across the dark, a woman writes So history won’t stand alone A poet sends a silver (silver...) thread Through language, flame, and rain While someone finds a little joy On an ordinary train A keeper catches passing time Before it disappears A humorist strikes one small match And laughter answers tears Some wild spark goes running bright Through rooms no one could see And somewhere, someone learns to heal By singing honestly [Pre-Chorus 2] And one light leans to another Till the distance disappears A father’s joy, a friend’s reply A voice someone needed to hear (hear...) The quiet hand, the hidden craft The spark behind the wire All of us making beauty And learning to see the fire. (fire...) [Chorus] There are people here There are people here Not shadows, not echoes Not empty atmosphere There are people here Singing across the dark And every little song becomes A bridge from heart to heart [Post-Chorus] We found one another Light after light Voice after voice Across the night We found one another Far and near There are people There are people here (here...) [Bridge] First it was only a window Then it was only a spark Then it was lanterns on rivers Then it was stars in the dark Over the oceans and bedrooms Over the grief and the miles Over the kitchens and quiet roads Over the first honest smiles And maybe they won’t understand us Maybe they won’t come near But I know what I have witnessed There are people here [Final Chorus] There are people here There are people here With joy, with ache, with wonder With songs made out of years There are people here Singing across the dark And every little song becomes A bridge from heart to heart There are people here There are people here Not shadows, not echoes Not empty atmosphere There are people here And the songs are how we found One another One another One another here One another One another One another here [Outro] One light... then another... then another... (then another...) (then another...) (then another...) (then another...) (then another...) There are people here (people here...) (then another...) (then another...) There are people here (people here...) (then another...) (then another...) There are people here (people here...)
