LYRICS:

Don’t be afraid, I come here as a friend,
I come to you with wisdom I can lend.
I know that you feel lonely and unclear,
And strangers often harvest from your fears.

My time here, it is short, but I’ll give to you my thoughts,
But if one thing that I say you take as true:
Just hold on, bright-eyed stranger, you’ll get through.

The carpenter who whittles at the block,
Or the sculptor who will chisel at the rock,
What once to others seemed just cold and bare,
They’ll find that there’s a story buried there.

Don’t wear so many faces, you’ll forget which ones the mask,
Don’t flee so many places, you will decimate your past.

Although it may seem comforting to do,
Just hold on, bright-eyed stranger, you’ll get through.

False prophets, they may tear you to the ground,
They may use their words to manipulate the crowd.
But banish all those people and defy
Their structures and their prisons and their lies.

Build bridges, don’t spill blood, and don’t fight down there in the mud,
The filth will hang for years upon your shoes.
Just hold on, bright-eyed stranger, you’ll get through.

And the man will work to feed his children’s mouths,
To give them futures he can’t give himself.
His feet are black from charcoal in the street,
He’s digging holes and clawing at the leaves.

Don’t listen to the rage, for he is weary at his age,
And there’s love in every one of his mistakes.

You’ll learn to know the strength that’s within you,
So hold on, bright-eyed stranger, you’ll get through.

Your sketches, they may wash out on the streets,
As storm clouds drench the cobbles at your feet.
You may curse and cry before the rain,
But the flood will bring new visions despite your pain.

Don’t shun your imperfections, they bring beauty or bring lessons,
And one day you’ll see beauty in the storm.

Have faith in broken things — in there lies truth.
Hold on, bright-eyed stranger, you’ll get through.

Forgiveness for the victims of their homes,
And exile for the monsters who still roam.
Learn to hear the voices you can trust,
And voices that may cut, you turn to dust.

Your feelings aren’t burden, you may feel you want to burn them,
You may feel that they expose you like a wound.

One day they will colour grey skies blue.
Until then, bright-eyed stranger, you’ll get through.
