lyrics

I don't always like what I see -
messed up stories in full HD,
but the mirror only tells part of the truth.
Somedays I catch a glimpse
of love and light; a narrative
of hope that sparks eternal from the flint.

It's because of you, that I'm still breathing,
It's because of you, dark flees the night.
It's because of you, I can keep on dreaming,
It's because of you, I'll be alright.

I'm not playing the hero's role
to save the world, it's been done before -
I'm just planting trees and digging holes.
The roots develop in the cold
before we see the fruit take hold -
ashes from last year's fire feed the growth.

It's because of you, that I'm still breathing,
It's because of you, dark flees the night.
It's because of you, I can keep on dreaming,
It's because of you, I'll be alright.
