When the Sky Opens

We were smoke on the horizon

Hands held tight through the flame

We carried the weight of the night Through the wreckage,

through the rain Every scar became a map line Every loss still

spoke your name

When the ground gave way beneath us We learned how to stand

again With the sky still torn above us We kept faith inside

the pain

Now the dark is breaking open Now the walls are giving in

Hear our hearts become a thunder Feel the light come rushing in

When we leave, we leave a fire Burning bright beyond the fear

We rise up, higher and higher All the broken turn to clear

When we leave, we leave together No one fading from the frame

Hope is louder than the weather And the world will know our

name From the silence came a warning From the warning came a

spark We were born inside the turning Made of breath and made

of marks Every door they closed behind us Only taught us how

to break Now the future stands before us Wide awake,

wide awake If this is the moment,

let it find us strong If this is the crossing,

we are coming on Oh oh,

oh oh Oh oh,

we carry on When we leave,

we leave a fire Burning bright beyond the fear We rise up,

higher and higher All the broken turn to clear When we leave,

we leave together No one fading from the frame Hope is louder

than the weather And the world will know our name Oh oh,

when we leave Hope will carry,

hope will carry Oh oh,

when we leave We are

not afraid
