Streetlight

I spend my days running and hiding from my past
The ghosts keep knocking on my door but I wont answer
The skyline is lit with scattered voices calling out
But I wont cry with them, no I wont cry with them
I'm not a billboard, I won't force you to perceive
There's a fire that burns within me

I'm a streetlight
Burning so bright
In the woods where nobody can see
I'm a streetlight
Burning so bright
In the woods where nobody can see

I spend my time waiting, waiting on the day
That my light will catch the eye of passers by
I may not shine like all the others
But I've found another way
I'll bring them out to where that glare wont burn their eyes
I'm not a light house on a hill
I don't need my voice to ring
Like a siren blaring out a desperate plea

I'm a streetlight
Burning so bright
In the woods where nobody can see
I'm a streetlight
Burning so bright
In the woods where nobody can see

I'm getting brighter
A magnetic pulse couldn't take my light away
I'm getting brighter
You can see me from outer space
I'm getting brighter
With each passing day
I'm getting brighter
I'm getting brighter
I'm getting brighter

I'm not a boxer in the dark
I'm not swinging at the wall
There are people who would like to see me shine
I'm a streetlight in the woods
I'm a streetlight in the woods
My flame is true I wont be hard to find
And though I may be in the woods
Well I sure as hell ain't hard to find
