Something Beautiful and Bright

[Verse 1]
I will lead you on
And the weight will break your bones
I'm a town all red with rust
Was I good or good enough?

[Pre-Chorus]
How many times, how many times will a son forget his mother?
How many lives, how many lives can he live beside his lover?

[Chorus]
I was holding something beautiful and bright
I was frightened but I did not hide
Speaking holy words, the veil fell from my eyes
And I knew the hand I held so tight

[Verse 2]
I will drink a lake
If it means my family's safe
Like a beast, ruthless and blind
I became their sacrifice

[Pre-Chorus]
How many times, how many times did I tell you I'd recover?
How many lives, how many lives did it take to find each other?

[Chorus]
I was holding something beautiful and bright
I was frightened but I did not hide
Speaking holy words, the veil fell from my eyes
And I knew the hand I held so tight
It was you, always you
It was you, always you
I was holding something beautiful and bright
And I was frightened but I did not hide
