"Darker Than Blue" lyrics

We walked toward the firing lines
With heavy hearts, heavy minds
Fueled with hope for a brighter day
Need to look in your eyes

Every day is another day
To lay a name at your feet
Holding on with the hopes of love
Though my heart's filled with grief

'Cause we are the people darker than blue
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Hold hands in love, fight on for truth
(Can't you see us rising higher?)

We withhold the fire
Though we know we can burn it down
My peace is a gift to you
Don't you throw it to the ground

Every day is another day
To say a name to get it right
How long must we come to you?
Now is the time

'Cause we are the people darker than blue
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Hold hands in love, fight on for truth
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We are the people darker than blue
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Hold hands in love, fight on for truth
(Can't you see us rising higher?)

We press on, we fight on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We press on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We fight on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
I know
(Can't you see us rising higher?)

I know we can make it
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Oh I know, I know we can press on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
Oh, I know we can fight on
(Can't you see us rising higher?)
We are the people darker than blue
And we're gonna hold on in love
Fight on for truth
