My lifelong enemies Become the messengers Teaching me how to live and love the world With the strangeness of it's curve I read the meaning, then lost my nerve I shoved dirt in every crack in every word I have photographs of me playing games Caught in moments of joy without shame I learned to doubt that feeling Taught myself that I was hearing Only voices that want me disappeared Then I heard you shout We're alive to let the light out The wall opened a crack Now I can't help but let the light out For every line that's on your face I wonder why Did they come from when you smiled Or when you cried Did you forget that you're a diamond? It's the cuts that make you shining When you start to break I'll be here listening I know you're gonna sing We're alive to let the light out The wall opens a crack And you can't help but let the light out I know I heard you shout We're alive to let the light out The wall opens a crack You can't help but let the light out I know you're gonna sing We're alive to let the light out The wall opens a crack We can't help but let the light out
