Two Lights Lyrics

What is courage? Is it brave?
What are lions? I've only seen them in parades
How is love supposed to read?
In a footnote of history
What's a tap on your shoulder?
That you're afraid to look over
A soldier's down in a fire fight
No one can look me in the eye
This is what it means to be alone
Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy but spare me my pride
Oh, I'm going for a drive
And if you find out he's coming home
When I come around the corner
I'll know that it's alright
Just leave me two lights
He was young just 23, didn't have to go

But it was the man he wanted to be
Like every son he was an only one
And one day he came to me, said
“Freedom's nothing to look over
Till each man can stand upon its shoulder
I'll right you mountains of letters
Each one a little bit better
And know I'll never be alone
Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
Oh, for this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy but spare me my pride
Oh, I'm going for a drive
And if you find out he's coming home
When I come around the corner
I'll know that it's alright
Just leave me two lights
Silent angels light the road up ahead
As the sentries guard the way
On the avenue of borrowed time
I'm almost home, the sun's to rise
I got to know, I've been driving all the night
There's our corner up ahead
I'm alive and I am dead
I drive right through the stop sign
I turn my head as I lift my eyes
My eyes burn
Tear out my heart, feed it to lions
For this one wish I beg you this tonight
Show me no mercy, spare me my pride
I'm going for a drive
