A thousand candles flicker in a thousand window sills
A sea of empty hearts without a drop of love to fill
The root of all the heartache's where the seeds of life will grow
So come, my friends, it's time that you arose
Your voices may be silent, but we hear you all the same
Your words are in the sunlight and the tapping of the rain
It waters all the seeds asleep within the ground below
So come, my friends, it's time that you arose
We will be free
We'll be released
As the echoes of your voices fill the air
We won’t give up
We won’t surrender
Though your voice is gone, your words we will remember
The lessons of the past can lead the future on its way
But we keep getting lost in the distractions of the day
Now history’s repeating, and the cycle we must break
So come, my friends, it's time that you awake
[Chorus]
The driving winds of autumn blow the leaves into the dust
The newly naked forest shouts and shivers at the gusts
The branches of the tree of life will bend, but never break
So come, my friends, it's time that you awake
[Chorus]
