Hold your hands to the dying fire's final glow
Warm yourself by the last breath of the radio
Batteries, are almost gone,
sing goodbye to that old song
Lincoln's words, they stare at me,
his better angels tear at me,
and I believe.
chorus
And we will burn, the starless night,
the truth will ring through depths of twilight.
Liberty, our hearts ignite,
let hope still ring through depths of twilight.
Did you hear the thunderous voice of Dr. King?
The ghost of hope still strikes its brilliant lightning.
Through the dark our hearts will scream,
for a world we've only dreamed.
And the past, it will decay,
so sing goodbye to yesterday
and I believe.
