Light Up The Dark

(album: The Rise - 2020)

We've all been left in the dark
I'm just trying to find my way
I've been hoping wishing praying
To maybe find a brighter day
All my life I've wondered why they're not inviting me to play
Cause I've got enough venom to conquer a village residing inside my DNA
Sometimes I wonder why
We fall victims to demons we face in a nation under God
Is ran by crooks so we've been overlooked and undermined
And all of the anger will break you, I'm hoping one day you'll wake up
And lose that hate if you're able
Just to see where the love will take you
And maybe one day we'll

Light up the dark
We stand together
Find who we are
Through all the pain
Never too late
We can start over
Just know it only gets better

I can feel the rage inside
And there ain't no way to hide
I know I'm in trouble cause lately I struggle to even find the will to stay alive
Land of the free, home of the brave
Oh, say can you see that we're still afraid
Before I sleep I hope and I pray
Cause here in the streets ain't nobody safe
I wonder why you had to use lethal force
Let's put the guns aside
He didn't have any weapons but now his mother cries
Was old enough to know better but way too young to die
Younging come inside

Light up the dark
We stand together
Find who we are
Through all the pain
Never too late
We can start over
Just know it only gets better

Light up the dark
We stand together
Find who we are
Through all the pain
Never too late
We can start over
Just know it only gets better

There goes another life after another
We march we say goodbye and it seems like the world moves on
We all fight we all fall until the end we stand tall
We emerge with hope we'll find our way

Light up the dark
We stand together
Find who we are
Through all the pain
Never too late
We can start over
Just know it only gets better

Light up the dark
We stand together
Find who we are
Through all the pain
Never too late
We can start over
Just know it only gets better
