[Verse 1]
Morning crowns the broken road
Gold on rust and rain
I learned the world can bless your hands
Then carve your name in pain
A child of fire, a child of ash
Both lived under my skin
I saw the door and kissed the key
Then watched the shadows grin
[Pre-Chorus]
One side calls me higher
One side pulls me down
I hear both voices singing
As the wheel spins round
[Chorus]
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
That is my blood, my spark
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
I wear both sides of life
I wear both sides of life
[Verse 2]
I held a rose with bleeding thorns
I held a cup of tears
I built a home from laughter first
Then lost it through the years
The king will kneel, the beggar rise
The feast will turn to dust
So I keep faith in battered hands
And learn to bend with trust
[Pre-Chorus]
One side calls me higher
One side pulls me down
I hear both voices singing
As the wheel spins round
[Chorus]
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
That is my blood, my spark
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
I wear both sides of life
I wear both sides of life
[Bridge]
When thunder breaks the chapel glass
I do not run away
I lift my face to both the skies
And let the tempest stay
For every wound can make a star
For every dawn, a night
I am not one clean line of gold
I am the full, fierce light
[Final Chorus]
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
That is my blood, my spark
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
I wear both sides of life
I wear both sides of life
Bright and dark
Bright and dark
I sing through joy and strife
I wear both sides of life
