Pardon me I need to see the stage
Need a place to learn to act my age
Need space to pay for all the ways I've misbehaved
Need a place to pray
Oh, carry us please
Bear up our dreams
When they've got no where to go
We're losing our gleam
But still we believe
Though the world says no
I'm here to live, not populate
Not fit to settle, lookin down on all we've made
I'm getting bored of finding peace in all I see
Everybody's dying, hell
If we're gonna go out quietly
Oh, carry us please
Bear up our dreams
When they've got nowhere to go
We're losing our gleam
But still we believe
Though the world says no
And if we only break a little
If we accept that edges fray
If we're free to reconsider every pattern that we've made
We can mend these threads together
Find a shine among our seams
The light's so goddamn bright that it can shine for you and me
And everyone who's trying to claim their piece
Everybody's gotta claim their piece
Everybody's dying, hell if we're gonna go out quietly
Oh, carry us please (Oh light, shine down on me)
Bear up our dreams (I believe in seizing)
When they've got nowhere to go (This golden jubilee)
We're losing our gleam (Won't go out quietly)
But still we believe though the world says no
