Loosing all as the flames grow higher and higher

Take these blinds from my eyes and wake me from the inside
This last hour the night dropped into the sea
The light spread wide and the sky broke open and free
Here I stand
Further out, maybe you could meet me where I am
Further out, I know there is hope within your hands
