Knockin' Holes In The Darkness
We are knockinâ, knockinâ holes in the darkness
We are knockinâ, knockinâ
Little boy looking out his window on a winter night
Watching close the lamplighter lighting flames into the sky
One after one after one
Flames shooting so high
Melting the darkness
Knocking holes in the sky
There was a farmer wouldnât eat
There was woman wouldnât leave her seat
There was King who had a dream âbout knockin holes in the darkness
One gun shot canât stop a title wave of dreams
A flood of tears, Ten thousand years tearing at the seams
We are knockinâ holes in darkness
A legacy of light
The hope that holds us through the night
We are knockinâ holes in the darkness
On a ladder of faith
Itâs a matter of when
On shoulders of love
Weâre knockinâ holes in the darkness again
Shoulders and shoulders
Mighty shoulders under our feet
Lifting us to light the lamps
Light the night for all to see
That there are holes in our borders
There are pores in our skin
There are souls in our children
They are ready to begin
