Luminary

Come on, come on, let's burn a bit brighter
we've got years of growing old to dwindle into twilight.
Come on, come on, I know you're a fighter
I can see it in your eyes, they shine in the firelight.

Come on, come on, let's work our very hardest
nothing worth its weight in gold came to us that easy.
Come on, come on, we're tiny motes of stardust,
all just floating in the sky, deciding what we want to be

and we can be luminary
we could be luminary

Come on, let's take a walk around the city
the sky's the colour of a sheet stretched out over a patient.
Listen to all the wild birds singing
they're remembering a world returning to creation.

Come on, come on, let's sing a little louder
we've got everyone to lose, and everyone to play for!
Come on, cause every time we take a detour
we trip over the forgotten people we're supposed to be

and we can be luminary
we can be luminary
we can be luminary

come on, come on, come on

and we could be luminary
we could be luminary
we could be luminary
we could be luminary
