Free The Light



key: F#
Free the light

The massive walls outside since long have fallen
but still we're clinging to the ones within
While we segregate against our nature
the turning tide compels us to give in
Human rights now everywhere acknowledged
atrocities do spread like wildfire still
and while we take our safety for granted
the ways of Herod are upheld at will

Although we desperately look for answers
and welcome any army rushing in
we gaze upon the star supposed to lead us
still hoping for the omnipotent king
As David's star propels us to a stable
discovering the light that dwells within
the miracle around which now we gather
is moving us to recognize our kin

To free the light that in our heart is shining
our inner Jericho putting to shame
appreciate each other's silver lining
relinquish totally the game of blame
the Love of Christ may then be valid
- upon whatever mission we embark -
bringing to light what's lurking in the corner
and blotting out the future of the dark
