Red and gold

Your skin in the half-light

The ancient fold

Of fingers in twilight

The night takes hold

The sunset is kneeling down


Red and gold

The evening is blushing

The city glows

The traffic and rushing 

Of thirsty souls

Hungry for meaning and love


With hearts like a compass to guide us

Like fire inside of us

Leading us home


So hold your faith

You're not alone here

Stay your pace

You're almost home 

We?re on our way 

We're on our way home

We?re on our way 

We're on our way home


Red and gold

Of twilight electric 

Of ember coals

Wide eyes are reflective

Of fear and hope

Waves of the life in our lungs


Red and gold

The freeway is breathing

The day is told

But what is the meaning 

The stars unfolds

The fire of a million suns


Heart beats like thunder 

Inside us 

Our wonder will guide us 

And lead our way home


So hold your faith

You're not alone here

Stay your pace

You're almost home 

We?re on our way 

We're on our way home

We?re on our way 

We're on our way home
