I wouldn''t ask if you weren''t able
I wouldn''t up and waste your time
But all I see are written fables
All these people lost in rhymes

A couple smokes now
In the dark
A couple dreams gone unheard
Life''s a work of art
I see that boy there
Whitest lies
He''s got the makings but he
Doesn''t want to try

But everything you see and do
It''s all reflection you
You gotta raise those fists and fight
C''mon boy now be a light

You take the pain turn it
Into a sunrise
You wrestle fear and envy
Don''t believe the lies
I know you got it in you
To do what''s good and right
I know you love with all of you
Go on be a light

The subway screeches to a dead halt
A passenger can only ride

But everyday you''ve lived your truth
Followed did all you could do
You gotta know that it''s alright
All you can do is be a light

You take the pain turn it
Into a sunrise
You wrestle fear and envy
Don''t believe the lies
I know you got it in you
To do what''s good and right
I know you love with all of you
Go on be a light

I wanna thank you for believing
For knowing that you''d make it through
It''s all a legend that you''re leaving
Another day for me and you
A couple smokes now
In the dark
