Shoot out the Lights - Ron Pope

City lights the water as the snow forgets the sky

And we’re staring at the bridges just like every other night

We’ve been watching for a miracle

We’re praying for a sign

When the cure is made of poison then it’s hard to rest your eyes

If it’s time

Oh

Lord

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

Heavens shake with anger and the clouds

They curse the ground

And I’m screaming for an answer but the darkness blinds me now

We will not survive on misery

We will fill ourselves with love

We are searching

We are hopeful

We are anything but lost

If it’s time

Oh

Lord

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

I see the stars in black and white

I pray to God most every night

I see the stars in black and white

And I pray to God most every night

(Shoot out the lights)

I see the stars in black and white

(Shoot out the lights)

(Shoot out the lights)

And I pray to God most every night

(Shoot out the lights)

(Shoot out the lights)

And I see the stars

I see the stars

(Shoot out the lights)

I see the stars

I see the stars

(Shoot out the lights)

I see the stars most every night

(Shoot out the lights)

(I see the stars in black and white)

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

(I pray to God most every night)

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

(I see the stars in black and white)

Shoot out the lights

Shoot out the lights

(I pray to God most every night)

Shoot out the lights

(I see the stars)

(I see the stars)

I see the stars in black and white

And I pray to God

I pray to God
