Lyric

In the seam of the long blue hour

I find a pulse in the quiet wire

A small bright seam in the shifting field

Where tired hearts can start to heal

We came in from a thousand roads

Carrying sparks in our sleeves like codes

Some with a laugh, some with a bruise

Still every step was a way through

The day can bend like a willow blade

The weight can soften, the edges fade

Even the hard lines lose their pride

When a softer tide comes sweeping by

And I know, and I know

We were never built to break

And I know, and I know

There is room in the dark for change

Every generation, stay in the light

Every generation, make it right

Every generation, breathe through the bend

Every generation, again and again

Every generation, hands to the flame

Every generation, call it by name

Every generation, soft in the storm

Every generation, we carry on

At the table of the endless shift

We trade our fear for a kinder lift

A look from the edge, a word from the core

Turns an empty room to an open door

The first small smile can move a chain

A steady voice can outlast the rain

A careful heart in a crowded place

Can leave a mark that time can’t erase

There’s a thread in the aftertone

A low gold path where the lost come home

Not every answer comes fully clear

But something gentle is always near

And I know, and I know

The bend is not the end

And I know, and I know

Even strain can learn to mend

Every generation, stay in the light

Every generation, make it right

Every generation, breathe through the bend

Every generation, again and again

Every generation, hands to the flame

Every generation, call it by name

Every generation, soft in the storm

Every generation, we carry on

In the wide hush of the middle span

When the old doubts blur in a changing land

A child of dust, a child of glow

Still reaches for what they do not know

The evening leans on the window line

And the heart says, now is the honest time

To choose the bridge, to choose the trace

To leave more warmth in the human place

So if the road turns sharp and thin

Let the kind of day you make begin

Not with a shout, not with a crown

But with a hand and a lifted sound

And I know, and I know

A wound can turn to thread

And I know, and I know

We can plant what comes ahead

Every generation, stay in the light

Every generation, make it right

Every generation, breathe through the bend

Every generation, again and again

Every generation, hands to the flame

Every generation, call it by name

Every generation, soft in the storm

Every generation, we carry on

When the world feels split in two

Let the tender voice come through

Not a map, not a proof, just true

A gold line running under you

And if the ground feels far away

Let the higher heart have say

We are not the scar we wear

We are the way we care

Every generation, stay in the light

Every generation, make it right

Every generation, breathe through the bend

Every generation, again and again

Every generation, hands to the flame

Every generation, call it by name

Every generation, soft in the storm

Every generation, we carry on

Every generation, stay in the light

Every generation, make it right

Every generation, together, strong

Every generation, all along
