Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We're sitting on top of the big red engine,
Sweat dripping down our brow.
The last of you left an hour ago.
The town is quiet now.
We've got our cold coffee, we're covered in ash.
Yeah, we'd rather be in our beds.
But the sky is still burning, wind still turning,
And that ridge is an angry red.
[Prechorus]
Try not to worry, we're doing our best.
You go and take cover, we'll handle the rest.
[Chorus 1]
There's a thousand hands out there fighting the light.
There's a thousand hands out there
Holding the night,
But this is our vigil- where we hold the line.
This is our town, our life, our skyline.
So when you hit safety, when you get on through,
Spare a prayer for our families too.
[Verse 2]
I watched him walk in with a babe in his arms,
Eyes as wild as the fire.
He had one missing shoe, and disheveled hair,
The babe screamed, cold and tired.
He said he lost them- his wife and his son.
As I took the babe from his arms.
We looked up their names on the wall with no frame,
And found they'd come to no harm.
[Prechorus 2]
"Try not to worry." I said with a smile.
"I've got you now. We'll drive that last mile."
[Chorus 2]
There's a thousand hands out there fighting the light.
There's a thousand hands out there
Holding the night,
But this is our vigil- where we hold the line.
This is our town, our life, our skyline.
So when you hit safety, when you come on through,
Know we care about your families too.
[Bridge]
I told them goodnight when I left at dusk.
They're safe, they're warm and fed.
Then water got moved, I set up more beds
In my new-to-me boots with tread.
How can I help? Is my new favorite line.
But second only to this:
I've got you.
I've got you.
I've got you.
I've got you.
[Chorus 3]
There's a thousand hands out there fighting the light.
There's a thousand hands out there
Holding the night,
We choose this vigil where we hold the line.
This is our town, our life, our skyline.
You're gonna hit safety, you're gonna get through.
'Cause we got each other. Yeah we got you too.
