Let There Be Light | TMN

Lyrics: No voice from above, no hand in the sky Just us and the dark and the question of why I waited for answers that never came down Prayed to the silence, just heard my own sound Built on a promise that nobody kept Begged for protection while everyone wept We blamed our pain on some grander design While kids starved to death right next to the sign If nobody’s steering this mess from afar Then maybe it’s finally ours where we are No savior arriving to settle the score No gates swinging wide with a welcoming door The night didn’t end, we learned to see through The dark only wins when we wait for a cue Let there be light, we'll start it ourselves No higher command sitting up on a shelf Hands in the dark, we spark and ignite Meaning is made when we choose to fight No one is coming to set it all right So we become day in the middle of night Hope isn’t given, it’s something we write Let there be light They told us endure, it’ll pay after death So suffering thrived while they held their breath Excuses disguised as a heavenly plan While cruelty flourished at hands of a man We carried the blame for what nature began Called broken for living exactly as planned If life is a moment that nobody owes Then kindness matters wherever it goes No judge in the clouds keeping tally above The worth of a life is the good that we love No fate etched in stone deciding our part The universe started inside of the heart Let there be light, we'll start it ourselves No higher command sitting up on a shelf Hands in the dark, we spark and ignite Meaning is made when we choose to fight No one is coming to set it all right So we become day in the middle of night Hope isn’t given, it’s something we write Let there be light If nothing awaits when the curtain is drawn Then every second isn't quite that long No cosmic reward for the help that you give So help anyway, that’s the reason to live We’re brief and we’re fragile and that makes it loud The beauty exists because time’s not allowed No heaven above us, good No hell underneath, good No master to please, good Just people in need No plan to obey, free No fear to delay, breathe We build what we want to see Let there be light, we'll start it ourselves No higher command sitting up on a shelf Hands in the dark, we spark and ignite Meaning is made when we choose to fight No one is coming to set it all right So we become day in the middle of night Hope isn’t given, it’s something we write Let there be light The sky stayed empty, we didn’t So we filled it with us And that was enough.
