[Verse 1]
[Quiet start, acoustic guitar and a steady kick drum]
You’re standing on the edge of the midnight blue
Thinking there’s nothing left for you to do
You feel so small against the city sky
Just a whisper while the world screams by
But the biggest fires that you’ve ever seen
Started from a moment in between
The silence and the noise, the courage and the fear
Wipe away the doubt, let me make it clear.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Music builds, snare drum kicks in]
You don’t need the sun to rise right now
You don’t need a crown upon your brow
You just need the friction, you just need the scratch
You just need the will to strike the match!
[Chorus]
[Explosion of sound – heavy drums, synths, electric guitar]
So strike it up and let it burn
This is the lesson that the shadows learn
It doesn't matter who you are
You can set the sky ajar
One tiny flame is where it starts
A little spark can light the dark!
Yeah, a little spark can light the dark!
[Verse 2]
[Bass groove, keeping the energy moving]
Now the wind is gonna blow and the rain might fall
And people gonna say that you can’t have it all
They’ll try to douse the glow that you hold inside
Tell you it’s safer if you run and hide
But a wildfire doesn't ask for permission to grow
Once it catches on, everybody’s gonna know.
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t need the sun to rise right now
You don’t need a crown upon your brow
You just need the friction, you just need the scratch
You just need the will to strike the match!
[Chorus]
So strike it up and let it burn
This is the lesson that the shadows learn
It doesn't matter who you are
You can set the sky ajar
One tiny flame is where it starts
A little spark can light the dark!
Yeah, a little spark can light the dark!
[Bridge]
[Tempo slows slightly, building tension with clapping beat]
First comes the flicker (Hey!)
Then comes the heat (Hey!)
Then comes the rhythm of a brand new beat
It’s passing hand to hand, it’s passing eye to eye
We’re turning up the brightness, we’re lighting up the sky!
[Big drum fill]
LIGHT IT UP!
[Guitar Solo / High Energy Instrumental]
[Chorus]
So strike it up and let it burn
This is the lesson that the shadows learn
It doesn't matter who you are
You can set the sky ajar
One tiny flame is where it starts
A little spark can light the dark!
[Outro]
[Fading out with just the kick drum and vocals]
Just a little spark (Can light the dark)
Just a little spark (Can light the dark)
Strike the match.
Watch it catch.
[Spoken whisper]
Light the dark.
