Hold this light up high 2 (versione 2)

Verse

Snowflakes fall slow across the sky

Streetlight cuts a silver line

Bare hands cup around the flame

Feel it warm up like a river's name

Pine needles rustle on the fence

Every step takes me one more inch to my defence

Steel wool and old rope hanging dry

Watch the fire dance, don't ask me why

Pre-Chorus

Something rising where I used to be

Don't let the shadows have a voice in me

Hold this light up high, feel it take shape

Every ember's burning off its weight

Chorus

Hold this light up high

Where the dark won't hide

I am fire, I am free tonight

Watch us shine like stars in flight

No more hiding under cover of night

I will chase the sun with all my might

I'll hold this light up high

Verse

Frost on window, but the room's warm inside

Every window letting sunlight divide

Bare feet on the sill where I used to hide

Watch the shadows shrink before they can try

Candle smoke curls up towards the glass

Every secret burning in its past

Steel and ash that once held me down

Now it rises up like a crown

Pre-Chorus

Something rising where I used to be

Don't let the shadows have a voice in me

Hold this light up high, feel it take shape

Every ember's burning off its weight

Chorus

Hold this light up high

Where the dark won't hide

I am fire, I am free tonight

Watch us shine like stars in flight

No more hiding under cover of night

I will chase the sun with all my might

I'll hold this light up high

Bridge

We don't need a reason why

This is just what it means to fly

Every spark that used to die

Becomes a fire now it's free

So I'll hold the flame and let go

Watch the whole world start to glow
