Hour 19: Turn Your Lights On

I’ve walked the walls

a thousand times

Traced the lines

Between you and me

 

Through quiet halls

a river city sleeps

The intersections filled with signs

on abandoned streets

 

Just for a minute

Turn your lights on

Is there anybody home?

 

Just for a minute

Turn your lights on

So, I know I’m not alone

 

We could be a constellation

A single moment full of life

One big terrestrial formation

To illuminate the night

 

Won’t you turn your lights on

Hold a lighter in your hand

Just for a minute

Turn your lights on

Crank the brightness on your phone

Just for a minute

Turn your lights on

And see no one is alone
