Lyrics

The end is nigh The world is heavy As I'm calling out it's falling foul I fear I try to write To hold it steady But I lose my way as they keep drawing near Their war is on And their evil's raging And my only weapon is my father's pen So I write Without engaging Cause I won't let them light the fuse in me again Story after story And page after page I'll write about our glory to kill the rage This is what it is when you live for love This is what you do when you die for the life you're dreaming of This is who I'll be 'til the world is done But am I the only one? To stop the blame And start believing That we can cultivate a beauty in the light To will set us free And end the grieving For a world that can make peace without a fight I need to write A new beginning I need to tell the tale of enemy as friend That someone will read And feel we're winning Cause if I don't I don't know how this thing will end Letter after letter And word after word I'm sending out my signal like a bird This is what it is when you live for love This is what you do when you die for the life you're dreaming of This is who I'll be 'til the world is done But am I the only one? To want the beautiful and bright A world of healing, hope, and light A place where people live in quiet pride I knew this story as a boy My brother's friend, my father's joy Now with them gone, there's just a great divide Between what was and what will be The darkness grows inside of me I hear it saying 'boy, you don't belong' So now, my friends, I look to you To tell me what I'm meant to do Could it be we were wrong? Is this all there is Do we live for love? Is this what we do 'Til we die for the life we're dreaming of? Am I just a fool and the world is done? I can't be the only one This is what it is to live for love This is what you do when you'd die for the life we're dreaming of This is who I am, and I've just begun And if I'm the only one Then I'm the only one I'm not the only one
