Smoke on the skyline

Smoke on the skyline

Smoke on the skyline, screens in our eyes,
Everybody running from invisible fires
Cities keep glowing while the people fade,
Trading tomorrow for another upgrade
Children learn silence before they learn trees,
Maps full of borders, empty memories
We built machines that can answer it all,
Still can’t explain why we let each other fall

If everything breaks
Will somebody stay?
If darkness remains
Can love find the way?

Only hope
When the lights disappear
Only hope
Is louder than fear
Hold my hand
Even if the night won’t end
Hope, only hope
Will bring us back again

Oceans keep rising, headlines repeat
Everybody counting profits, nobody the heartbeat
The clocks never stop, they just steal another day
While the good ones grow tired trying to find a way
But I’ve seen one smile rewrite a room
One small candle fighting all the gloom
History turns where nobody can see
Maybe the future begins with you and me

Don’t close your eyes
We’re not too late
The smallest spark
Can change our fate

Only hope
When the lights disappear
Only hope
Is louder than fear
Hold my hand
Even if the night won’t end
Hope, only hope
Will bring us back again

No hero coming from the sky tonight
No perfect answer, no miracle light
Just ordinary hearts refusing to run
Becoming together what couldn’t be one

Hope
Can cross every border
Hope
Can silence the thunder

Only hope
When the whole world shakes
Only hope
When another heart breaks
Stand with me
Even if we lose the day
Hope, only hope
Will never fade away

Only hope
Beyond every wall
Only hope
Can still save us all
One more step
One more voice
One more flame

Hope

Only hope

Only hope
