Lyrics[]
We chase the stars, reach high
Through the darkest night, we fly
With open hearts and spirits warm
Together strong, we’re never alone
We raise our torches to the sky
You give my life a sense, I can’t deny
Hand in hand, we light the dark
(Light the dark)
When I am lost, when I’m alone
Your light will guide me
When I am weak, when I’m afraid
Your strength will hold me
Lost in the echoes of the night
Where shadows dance in fading light
We find our way through endless dreams
In unity, our silent screams
I see the stars and the sky in your eyes
Side by side, our voices rise
Together bound in unity
Eternally
