We Are the Night - Steve Grand, Dave Audé

We are the night

We are the yellow moon in the sky

We are the ambler glow

Of a firelight

In a lover’s eyes

We are the dark

We are a hundred billion stars

We are the heavy hearts on the subway cars

We are the night

We are the night

They’re gonna say we just ain’t right

But we are the night

We are the night

And we just wanna be free

Is there anything more lovely?

We got our whole lives to love

And tonight we’re as young as we’ll ever be So don’t you never look back

Today could be our last

And we’ll just live as we are

Unmoved by the darkness we face

Cause we are the night

They’re gonna say we just ain’t right

But we are the night

We are the night

We are the brave

We are the ones they couldn’t shake

Ain’t part of that machine

So unshamefully, we ignite

We are the light

And we’re just tryin' to get it right

We won’t stop pressin' on Through the firestorms

We will rise

We are the night

They’re gonna say we just ain’t right

But we are the night

We are the night

And we just wanna be free

Is there anything more lovely?

We got our whole lives to love

And tonight we’re as young as we’ll ever be So don’t you never look back

Today could be our last

And we’ll just live as we are

Unmoved by the darkness we face

Cause we are the night

They’re gonna say we just ain’t right

But we are the night

We are the night

So for every boy and every girl

No matter who you love

And for all my trans brothers and sisters

Of every race, in every place around this globe

It’s our time

We will rise

And we just wanna be free

Is there anything more lovely?

We got our whole lives to love

And tonight we’re as young as we’ll ever be So don’t you never look back

Today could be our last

And we’ll just live as we are

Unmoved by the darkness we face

Cause we are the night

They’re gonna say we just ain’t right

But we are the night

We are the night
