Lyrics

[Intro] I'm floating in the clouds I'm giving up the fight A voice is calling out I'm walking into the light [Verse 1] We used to race a thousand miles a day so fast Feet, they barely even touched the ground We used to fly to places out beyond our own little world The fury and the sunlight [Verse 2] I saw it flicker like a television set Bright flashes of a warning sign Flipping channels in a world gone static Eroding away line by the fading line [Pre-Chorus] Under water for years we found So much harder to swim than drown The current takes us Now we're walking into the light [Chorus] Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light, walking into the light) Broken, beat, and tired out (Walking into the light) You want to live, but don't know how (Walking into the light) Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light) Can no one revive me now? Feels like I'm walking into the light [Verse 3] Woke up floating on a wave of golden sound Tunnel vision and a great beyond Heart beating like a rhythm Slowing down 'til it's gone An echo of a song [Pre-Chorus] Flat line and a closing bell Whisper a warm farewell The flames are beckoning As we're walking into the light [Chorus] Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light, walking into the light) Broken, beat, and tired out (Walking into the light) You want to live, but don't know how (Walking into the light) Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light) Can no one revive me now? Feels like I'm walking into the light [Bridge] Don't suppose that you know the way? Don't suppose that you care? I see lights up ahead and hear cries of angels ring in my ears [Pre-Chorus] But you know that had you a choice You would go back and do it again We all have unfinished business to tend [Chorus] So no, I won't go gentle into the good night You can keep your candle I'm walking away from the light Yeah, I'm walking away from the light I'm walking away from the light I'm walking away from the light I'm walking away from the light Diagnosis: sudden life (Walking into the light, walking into the light) I woke up my heart racing (Walking into the light) I'm at a loss explaining why Are you dying all your life? (Walking into the light) Then put your darkest days behind Let the life flash right before your eyes (Walking into the light) And for very the first time It feels like I'm walking away from the light
