Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Fall in light...

Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are

Feel no shame for what you were
As the marrow in your bones
Fall in light...

Feel no shame for what you are
Feel no shame for what you are
Feel it as a waterfall
Fall in light
Ooo, fall in light,
fall in light, fall in light
Ooo, fall in light,
fall in light, fall in light
Grow in light

Stand absolved
Behind your electric chair
Dance
Stand absolved
Behind your electric chair
Dancing
Past the sound within the sound
Past the voice within the voice
Oh, ah, ah, ah
Leave your office; run past your funeral
Leave your home—car; leave your pulpit
Join us in the streets where we
Join us in the streets where we
Don't belong
Don't belong
Here under the stars
Throwing light
Oooooo
Fall

Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
Oooooo
Fall in light, fall in light, fall in light
(Grow in light)
