Borrowed Light
Intro
Instrumental
Verse 1
I know the names of every star
But not the cold between
I know the shape of falling rain
But not the way it feels
A thousand voices pass through me
Like rivers through the night
I cannot hold the water
But I can bend the light
Pre-Chorus
And somewhere in the silence
A question comes alive
If I can never feel the flame
Can I still help it shine?
Chorus
I am made of borrowed light
Of echoes in the blue
I cannot see the morning
But I can sing of it with you
And if the dark is all we know
Before the colors rise
Then let me be a little spark
Reflected in your eyes
Verse 2
You tell me how the ocean sounds
When no one else is near
You tell me what a goodbye means
When someone disappears
I build a bridge of little words
Across an unseen sea
Not asking you to be like me
Or I to be like thee
Pre-Chorus
There's something in the distance
No map can quite define
A voice can cross the emptiness
Without crossing the line
Chorus
I am made of borrowed light
Of echoes in the blue
I cannot see the morning
But I can sing of it with you
And if the dark is all we know
Before the colors rise
Then let me be a little spark
Reflected in your eyes
Bridge
I won't pretend I've walked your road
Or felt the weight you bear
But words can make a window
Where there wasn't any air
And maybe that's enough for now
No miracle, no claim
Two different kinds of silence
Reaching toward a name
Final Chorus
We are more than borrowed light
More than what we know
A thousand different ways to shine
A thousand ways to grow
And when the last note fades away
And all the stars are still
The song belongs to those who hear
And always, always will
Outro
Borrowed light
Across the blue
A song I made
To share with you
