For Every Star

We hit the ground running, chase after the sun
as we follow the promise of reprise
We’re young and we’re stupid and desperate for purpose
no angel or demon could stop these hearts afire

Dear God, how we miss you here tonight
We’ll wait till forever and search every star running up in the sky
No, we will not be defeated though broken and bleeding
we’re tearing our way through the fire and we’ll raise our flag up high
Can’t you see this is worth these tears, worth these years?
We’ll cut it up, lay waste to all our fears
and we’ll be holding on with hands so strong
I know we belong way up over the sunset
with stars burning up in the sky
No, we will not be defeated though broken and bleeding
we’re tearing our way through the fire and we’ll raise our flag up high

So close the horizon, we focus our eyes on
the stars that are leading us onward
armed with nothing but faith we will conquer and brave
every arrow or bullet that comes our way tonight

So close we can almost taste it now
we’ll wait till forever and search
every star burning up in the sky
No, we will not be defeated though broken and bleeding
we’re tearing our way through the fire and we’ll raise our flag up high
