What We Must Be ft. Vincent Belanger Lyrics

It's in the starkest hours that we most clearly see

What's in our hearts, what stands apart

What we have dreamed, what we must be

And in those darkest hours when all but faith recedes

We find the soul that's always known

What it can be, what road to lead

We'd strayed from all we knew

Consumed by fear, afraid to lose

We'd worn this mask of fools

And with each act, the stone walls grew

But when you ask: you choose

And from that moment on attuned to what must be

We'll walk the path of love in balanced harmony

And willing hearts, supportive thoughts

Transform our needs to what must be

Now let us heal the past and finally build to last

This torch in hand: a second chance

To be complete, as we might be

We'd cite that tired excuse

And justify insane abuse

In place of fire and truth

We'd hung that rough and lazy noose

But here at last: the simple proof

That what you cast will be renewed

That we might be

I've found the words tonight to set the spirit free

And every sound that shall be heard

Will plant a seed, for what will be

And soon a spark is in our reach

That lights a flame for you and me

For what must be

We'd strayed from all we knew

Consumed by fear, afraid to lose

We'd worn this mask of fools

And with each act, the stone walls grew

But when you ask: you choose

And from that moment on attuned to what must be

To what must be

I've found the words tonight to set the spirit free
