I was born from a flicker Burning in the shadows April was cold But I was born in fire The roof was thin and broken Yet love could hold the sky up Dreamt I could climb (climb) Past the smoke and the silence, mm No one believed (believed, believed) But my father kept on digging Hands that built from dust and dreams Still pointing to the city (the city, the city) I had a spark And I lit it in the dark When I wake up, I see My mother's hands taking care of me And she says: You were made for the dawn, don't let it burn you You can be tired, but let it turn you If I could show the gold that hides in your scars You'd know the fire's always been ours I tried to rise But the wind was like an anchor They called me proud They spoke like I was never hungry But I was still ascending I kept my eyes unbroken And it feels like dust became my crown But I don't tell anyone around 'Cause everyone wants light from me now And I can't dim it down I had a spark And I lit it in the dark When I wake up, I see My mother's hands taking care of me And she says: You were made for the dawn, don't let it burn you You can be tired, but let it turn you If I could show the gold that hides in your scars You'd know the fire's always been ours If I lost it all then, would I climb again? Would I climb again? If they knew what it took to glow through the pain What would they say again?
