Copper Light Horizon (versión 2)

Intro

The street was black before the sound began

Verse 1 – male vocal

Corner light flickered once then caught fire

Steam rose off the sidewalk like it's alive

Every window cracked its shutters wide

City held its breath and watched us rise

I remember every face turned south

Same four blocks, same hundred souls we'd lost

But tonight that shadow on the wall is gold

Not a warning sign, not something to be told

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Something in me breaks before I speak

Somebody's whisper turns to what it means

Chorus – full group harmony

Every dark corner catching light we made

Nobody's leaving when the sun comes up

Street that used to hold us down now swallows stars

Copper light horizon, we're the ones who found it

Verse 2 – male vocal

Old man sweeping his stoop still hums along

Girl on second floor pulls curtains wide and strong

Windows turn to gold like a thousand small suns

Streetlight flickers soft because it's won

I'm not running from what the dark has been

Tonight I'm standing where it starts again

Every block remembers how we used to hide

Now it holds its breath before we step outside

Pre-Chorus – male vocal

Something in me breaks before I speak

Somebody's whisper turns to what it means

Chorus – full group harmony

Every dark corner catching light we made

Nobody's leaving when the sun comes up

Street that used to hold us down now swallows stars

Copper light horizon, we're the ones who found it

Bridge – soaring harmonies only, no beat or instruments

Rising...

Gold and sound...

This is how we take it back...

Block by block...

We are gold...

We are home...

We don't hide...

We don't go dark anymore...

Chorus – full group harmony

Every dark corner catching light we made

Nobody's leaving when the sun comes up

Street that used to hold us down now swallows stars

Copper light horizon, we're the ones who found it
