It's midnight in Washington The men are dressed in stone The city's filled with skeletons Vultures circle the throne I got a foreign feeling in my chest Loneliness in my bones Your name still sings inside my head I gotta fight it or leave it alone We had a dream The world was new and life felt free But the arrows missed Years eclipsed Dreams became memories Still looking for the First light, before the storm First light, when summers were long First light, like a baby born First light, when love was young First light, help me find the dawn Darling I'm coming home My past is full of smokey screens And ghosts that will not leave The war is lost, the bad guys won But this fool still believes We had a dream The world was new and life felt free But the arrows missed Years eclipsed There are dreams that cannot be Still looking for the First light, before the storm First light, when summers were warm First light, like a baby born First light, when love was young First light, help me find the dawn Darling I'm coming home And so the birds are singing songs of love Down the streets of old Multan And the soldiers locked their guns away As the rebels settle down It's all coming back around First light, before the storm First light, when summers were warm First light, like a baby born First light, when love was young First light, before the storm First light, when summers were warm First light, like a baby born First light, when love was young First light, help me find the dawn I'm coming home
