Blackout by Steffany Gretzinger

"Blackout"

I ride the dawn
It's in the name I was given
Can't get away from the meaning
I'll always rise, I'll always shine
In a blackout
I will illuminate the dark
You won't escape the beaming
I will glimmer, I will glow

[Refrain 1]
You can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside

[Verse 2]
Light of the world
It's the name we were given
Can't get away from the vision
We are cities on a hill
In a blackout
We will illuminate the dark
They won't escape the beaming
We will glimmer, we will glow

Refrain 2]
You can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside
Can't turn out a light shining from the inside

[Chorus 1]
This our paradigm
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
We are made of light
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away

[Bridge]
In a blackout
I will illuminate the dark
You won't escape the beaming
In a blackout
We will illuminate the dark
They won't escape the beaming
In a blackout
I will illuminate the dark
They won't escape the beaming

[Chorus 2]
This our paradigm
The world didn't give it
We are made of light
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away

[Outro]
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
The world didn't give it
And they can't take it away
