My words are all stripped bare  Tonight I want something else  Something different  to make some kind of clarity  of everything that's over us  that's hanging in the air  Coming in on the darkness  sounds of small voices  im many different tongues  Codes coming in  Music mingling  from lands I've never seen  places that I've been  where strangers have given more to me  than I could ever dream of  Oh make it clear tonight  fragile word  Whatever's hanging over us  I'm reaching out beyond it now  turning shadows into light  Fragile life  He's fighting beyond all this  Turn his shadows into light  Words are all stripped bare  Fragile bodies  small voices carry through the air  all this life inside of us  in a darkened world tonight.
