Holes in his cage looking nowhere for what he wants the most
Precious daylight comes and goes
In silence they wait, holding candles as she prays for a sign
Will they set him free tonight?
Will she have him back?
Like the Son of God
Home from the war

To embrace the love he was fighting for
The only thing that would keep him going on

Safe by the hopes of every friend in a secret place of trust
To be be found for all of us
And shines in the eyes of every child
Wondering what would heaven send
To be the first sign of the end
Of the longest night
When the New World comes, eternal love

Calls my name when the world is sleeping
Love, love eternal
To light the stars of a thousand skies
Love, love eternal
To crash the gates of a million cities
Love, love eternal
To build a bridge of a thousand miles
Love, love eternal
