Lyrics:

Here we are
Standing
Where the light goes
Standing
Where the light goes

Wake up / the day is new / let’s get to school / learn what we can do

On the road / we slice the country / spilling guts / to suture our wounds

We recognize / each false step / but to forgive / we must accept

Blood on our hands / complicities / can we wash it clean / can we make amends?

But to each other / we are the truth / what we’ve discovered / is unconditional /
it’s unconditional

People can change / but nations will not / when a past of shame / can be bought

And at what cost / do we deny the truth / if we build walls / we’ll split in two

Why do you cry
In the morning
When the sun comes up
In the morning
When the sun comes up
As if you
Are in darkness
When you’re waking up
Are in darkness
When you’re waking up

Hey, don’t you worry
No one can be you
No sun has your spark
And I need you now
In the day and dark

Let me show you how
All this time and space
In your bright glow
can become embraced

I am free / exposed to you / touch me now / I am born anew

As the sun goes down / we watch and learn / we accept our crimes / will you watch us burn?

As the sun goes down
As the sun goes down

Here we are
Standing
Where the light goes
Standing
Where the light goes

And to each other / we are the truth / what we’ve discovered / is unconditional /
it’s unconditional love
it’s unconditional love
we are standing where the light goes
we are standing where the light goes
it’s unconditional love
it’s unconditional love
