Brighter Than Apathy

Seems like I can't put a dent in this
 I stand on the edge of the abyss
 when hope in the dark seems foolish
 how we ever gonna make it through this?
 I got one spark in the dimness
 one fuze lit - it feels useless
 I'm lost on my own I can't do this
 with just five loaves and just two fish
 I got my microphone and my music
 this voice I own - I'm gonna use it
 one note at a time in a firefight
 pushing back on the shadow in the twilight
 and the movement's unstoppable
 if you got your soul I got rock and roll
 when they're bought and sold
 we don't stop or fold
 wake up blue fire from the days of old
 I want to live for something
 bigger than me
 stronger than fear
 brighter than apathy
 Trade in your caution in for courage
 give me action - not your words
 one spark catches a fire
 one voice becomes a choir
 we are tile - you and I
 we're fragile but we don't break
 when we come together we're mosaic
 and we brave the weather and the cold rain
 thoughts and prayers are nice but they won't suffice
 give me bravery - give me sacrifice
 i'm not looking for your pity - I want your life
 I'm looking for the city of radiant light
 on the hill that we're descending on
 it's your will that they're depending on
 your voice - your youth - your time - your art
 your song - your life - your rhyme - your heart
 what will you spend it on?
 what will we spend it on?
 and when we're gone
 in ages to come the sages will write
 so raged the bearers of the light
 so waged the few with all their might
 against the terrors of the night
 with no site in view / from the depths to the heights
 I want to live for something
 bigger than me
 stronger than fear
 brighter than apathy
 with all my rivers running out of the deep
 through the frontier
 into the glassy sea
 wake up my soul - my soul
