The Brown Mountain Lightning Bugs - Rebel Lyrics

Oh oh, yeah I know
This world is hurting like never before
We're glued to the blood on the news
Can't keep my eyes from the feed, it's true

But I, I, know there's a way
To keep each one of these demons at bay
Stand tall and don't give sway
Don't trade in your love and wind up with hate

If you
Are lucky enough
To have something to love
Then you
Gotta fight with your life
Drive out darkness with light
Be a rebel by being alive

Oh, oh, I've come to know
The best kind of protest is to keep living on
Strong, yeah, strong through the fear
Proud instead of panicked and smiles instead of tears

If you
Are lucky enough
To have something to love
Then you
Gotta fight with your life
Drive out darkness with light
Be a rebel by being alive

One day you'll look back on all of these years
Don't look back in anger or fear
Build up the things that you want to live on
Long, long after you're gone
