lyrics

VERSE 1:
Bloodshed in the headlines
A spark blown out by the driving rain
Blame it on the bloodlines
No cause to think that we're all the same

There's a highway in the headlights
The same dark road down an endless plain
Blindness to the next life
As a cold heart calls with a soul to claim

CHORUS:
But I see a firefly flicker of a rising light
Caught in the bottle of this wounded sky
There's a new dawn burning beyond these eyes
We've got one love, one life, electrified

VERSE 2:
Humility thrown out the door
Gunned down in the name of pride
If all we'll ever know is war
Will we ever fill the ache inside?

CHORUS:
But there's a firefly flicker of a rising light
Caught in the bottle of this wounded sky
There's a new dawn burning beyond these eyes
We've got one love, one life, electrified

BRIDGE:
What if all we need
Is a view beyond this precipice?
All these contradictions we
Call more urgent than our helplessness
We've got one love, one life
Can we, can we turn these eyes?
We've got one love, one life
Can we, can we turn these eyes?

CHORUS:
To the firefly flicker of a rising light
Caught in the bottle of this wounded sky
There's a new dawn burning beyond these eyes
We've got one love, one life, electrified
One love, one life, electrified

Andersen Coates Des Moines, Iowa

An independent singer-songwriter from the middle of Iowa, Andersen Coates creates a unique blend of songwriting-driven Americana rock, somewhere in between the folky rock'-n'-roll of Tom Petty and the contemporary pop-blues gloss of John Mayer.
