Lyric Challenge (New Light)

Intro

Verse

Used to wait for someone's word

To tell us when our time was right

Used to think the brightest ones

Were the only ones allowed to shine

But the sky don't ask permission

Every star just finds its place

And the ones who burned the longest

Still gotta make room, gotta make space

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building

Something's coming, something's new

Can you feel it building

There's a sky that's wide enough for you

Chorus

New light, rising

You can't hold back what's coming

New light, rising

Every star gets its moment

The old ones fade, that's how it goes

New light keeps on, keeps on glowing

Verse

Some lights dim and some just begin

That's the only law up there

Nobody owns the whole damn sky

There's room enough for everywhere

We don't need an invitation

We don't need a given name

The sky was never yours to guard

And the dark don't stay the same

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it building

Something's coming, something's new

Can you feel it building

There's a sky that's wide enough for you

Chorus

New light, rising

You can't hold back what's coming

New light, rising

Every star gets its moment

The old ones fade, that's how it goes

New light keeps on, keeps on glowing

Break

Build

Verse

They can dim the room but not the sun

They can lock the door, we'll find a window

Every voice that gets told "wait"

Becomes the one that lights tomorrow

We were never asking really

We were only being kind

Now the room is getting brighter

And there's nothing left to hide

Bridge

Watch the old ones holding tighter

As the new ones learn to fly

Funny how the dimmest stars

Talk the loudest in the sky

(Let the dark ones talk, let the dark ones talk)

We don't fade, we don't fall

We just rise

Drop

Chorus

New light, rising

You can't hold back what's coming

New light, rising

Every star gets its moment

The old ones fade, that's how it goes

New light keeps on, keeps on glowing

New light, glowing

New light, glowing on

Outro

Let the old light go

There's room enough for all of us to glow

Let the old light go

We were always meant to glow
