I want to turn on the lights

I want to keep your hopes alive

So where do I begin

To help you believe again

Makers of secret planes

Keepers of our last remains

Dream of a holy state

In a nightmare time

you know I meant it well but who was it meant to help


Even the child knows you don't waste it

a promise is only given once

And there is no doubt that changes have begun

even a child knows that you can't fake it 

As long as the world is waking up 

You are free now to recover your heart


the stories left to write 

the ebb and flow of my life

to justify the end 

I'll do everything I can

And its a dangerous game 

I heard you tell someone that you don't care

But I don't believe the message

And when you sing about love

what are you thinking of


even a child knows you don't waste it

as long as the world is waking up

And there is no doubt that changes have begun

even a child knows you don't fake it 

a promise is only given once

You are free now to go wherever you want 

There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town 

music is a call to prayer

wailing out of speakers in the market place

The first time …..even a child

even a child knows you don't waste it

a present can always be delivered twice

You are free now to receive the gift of insight

From now on lets be open

All in time lets breathe in

Am I brave ?..... you're so brave

Am I afraid?..... no not afraid

Even the child
