lyrics

What do you do when your world is on fire?
Do you just sit back and watch it burn
Smoke is a-rising higher and higher
Are we past the point of no return

It's hard to see with ashes in your eyes
But we'll find a way
Oh it must be there, 'cuz

Out of darkness light
Out of darkness light
This too shall pass
Good and bad alike
Out of darkness light
Out of darkness light
We can make it out together
So I'm asking you to put your hand in mine

How can you breathe when the air has grown cold?
The leaves have fallen from the trees
All the greens have turned to rotting gold
And the crops have withered from the freeze

The ground is hard but the roots will be alright
We can't see them now
But they must be there, 'cuz

Out of darkness light
Out of darkness light
This too shall pass
Good and bad alike
Out of darkness light
Out of darkness light
We can make it out together
So I'm asking you to put your hand in mine
