The Light - Live at Red Rocks
Ladies and gentlemen
Now's the time
Of our performance when we humbly request
Just a little bit of audience participation
Now when you hear this next song
And you hear the chorus hit
And you hear me sing the following two words
"The light"
I want each and every one of you to take your lighters and your cell phones
Light 'em up and hold 'em up in the air
But only!
I repeat only when I sing those two words
"The light"
Are you with me?
Come on Red Rocks, make me believe you
Are you with me?
Together
We gon' shed some light
In the darkness
C'mon!
Like an unsung melody
The truth is waiting there for you to find it
It's not a blight, but a remedy
A clear reminder of how it began
Deep inside your memory
You turned away as you struggled to find it
You heard the call as you walked away
A voice of calm from within the silence
And for what seemed an eternity
You waited hoping it would call out again
You heard the shadow beckoning
Then, your fear seemed to keep you blinded
You held your guard as you walked away
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light
An unforgivable tragedy
The answer isn't where you think you'd find it
Prepare yourself for the reckoning
For when your world seems to crumble again
Don't be afraid, don't turn away
You're the one who can redefine it
Don't let hope become a memory (hands!)
Let the shadow permeate your mind
And reveal the thoughts that were tucked away
So that the door can be opened again
Within your darkest memories
Lies the answer, if you dare to find it
Don't let hope become a memory
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light
(Beautiful!)
Sickening, weakening
Don't let another somber pariah consume your soul
You need strengthening, toughening
It takes an inner dark to rekindle the fire burning in you
Ignite the fire within you
When you think all is forsaken
Listen to me now (all's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light
Don't ignore, listen to me now (all's not forsaken)
You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light
Now's the time
Of our performance when we humbly request
Just a little bit of audience participation
Now when you hear this next song
And you hear the chorus hit
And you hear me sing the following two words
"The light"
I want each and every one of you to take your lighters and your cell phones
Light 'em up and hold 'em up in the air

Are you with me?

You need never feel broken again
Sometimes, darkness can show you the light
