歌詞

They say the night is over

When the neon dies and the streets go blue

But I can hear a little future buzzing

In the broken things they threw away too soon

I was never built for standing still

Head full of wires and a stubborn will

Every “no” left a spark in me

Now the dark sounds like possibility

Every failure makes a filament

Every scar learns how to shine

If the world won’t hand us heaven

We can build a little light

We can invent the dawn

Out of the dark, out of the doubt

Turn the whole sky on

If all we’ve got’s a spark

That’s enough, that’s enough

To keep the fire on

When the city loses faith

And the colors fade to gray

Hold on, hold on

We can invent the dawn

Light it up, light it up

From the wire to the heart

Light it up, light it up

We can make it start

I used to wait for perfect answers

Like a ghost inside a paper plan

Now I know the best things are messy

Made of open hands and second chances

Take the noise and turn it into drums

Take the ache and turn it into love

Take the tears and make electricity

What was heavy doesn’t own me

Every breakdown leaves an opening

Every end can breathe new life

If the world won’t hand us heaven

We can build a little light

We can invent the dawn

Out of the ash, out of the ache

Turn the whole sky on

We don’t need the sun

Just a reason not to run

Just a heart to carry on

If your hope is running low

Put your hand in mine and know

Hold on, hold on

We can invent the dawn

No one sees the nights you almost quit

No one counts the wars inside your ribs

But every lonely heart that kept a match against the rain

Becomes a lighthouse for somebody else in pain

So if your world goes cold tonight

Lean your breaking heart on mine

We don’t have to live forever

We just have to burn alive

We will invent the dawn

Out of the dark, out of the damage

Turn the whole sky on

And when they ask us how

Tell ’em love outlived the wreck

Put a fire in our chest

Now the city learns our names

From a million little flames

Hold on, hold on

We will invent the dawn

Light it up, light it up

Even the smallest flame is enough

Light it up, light it up

We can invent the dawn

Light it up, light it up
