lyrics

I’m riding a ghost ship tonight
And I’ve never seen the dark
Wrap around the light so tight
And you’re the one
That builds the sinking ship at night
And you’re the one with burning beams and guns to fight

But I can hear
The sound of horses roaring
Hear the tolling bell
Dark whispered voices calling
And its love I’m going to wrap around the world tonight
And you I’m gonna to show you all the light
The light in your life

There’s gonna be a real fight tonight
And you’ve got all your big ideas
But no sense to really figure them out
And you’re the one who waves the flag of hate tonight
And you’re the one who fills us full of fear at night

But I can hear
The sound of horses roaring
Hear the tolling bell
Dark whispered voices calling
And its love I’m going to wrap around the world tonight
And you I’m gonna to show you all the light
The light in your life

Well you paid your dues
You stood in line
And there’s not much left to go around
And the odds of life are stacked to win
But you know you can always dream
Rich men sit in ivory towers
Preaching to you how to cry
But you’re a rock
You’re a stone
You’re a Father
Brother
Son

And I can hear
The sound of horses roaring
Hear the tolling bell
Dark whispered voices calling
And its love I’m going to wrap around the world tonight
And you I’m gonna to show you all the light
The light in your life
