lyrics

"Beyond the Lamplight"

Intermission is coming to a close
better run back to your seat
We been biding our time looking
for a rhyme that’ll get you up on you feet
It’s been a rather bumpy ride with people
trying to wear me down

I’ve been hearing it all I will heed the call
To this you know that I am bound
I know we’re just beginning
And while this world’s still spinning

Beyond, beyond, the lamplight,
We will be what you need,
We’ll illuminate the night
Come one, come all, gather near,
You will be what we need,
A sympathetic ear

‘Cause all we need is here

Is it something that you heard before
in your heart or in your head
From way deep down something that you found
That could get you up outta bed

In the middle there’s something stuck
let me help you to get it out
You can trust me dear there ain’t nothing to fear
Was there ever really any doubt?

There was never an ending
Our dreams were just pending
Beyond, beyond, the lamplight,
We will be what you need,
We’ll illuminate the night
Come one, come all, gather near,
You will be what we need,
A sympathetic ear

Was there ever any doubting,
That we’d be here again?
Through the cheer and through the shouting,
It’s made it’s way under our skin
Beyond, beyond, the lamplight,
We will be what you need,
We’ll illuminate the night

Come one, come all, gather near,
You will be what we need,
A sympathetic ear

This one’s for the kid in the back,
The storytellers and insomniacs,
Feeding the fire and keeping the flame,
Standing tall, screaming out their names

This one’s for the sweat on beams,
Blood on the floor and the tear on your cheek,
Leaving it all laying out on the stage,
Singing the hymn and tearing out the page
‘Cause all we need is here
