For Amanda Palmer's songwriting competition about the New York City Blackout

Lyrics:
Lights go out around 6:47 
And maybe the sky would've looked like heaven 
If we
Didn't have so much light pollution 
Maybe someday we'll find a solution 

Either way, a great time for a selfie 
Though "now's not the time you two ladies"
Even Ms. Lopez didn't get her birthday wish 
And Broadway was out of business

But we direct traffic with our light sabers 
Life saver
We still exist without power
Not as dependent as we seem to be
Adaptability 

Oh, can you feel it?
The light in the darkness
Oh, can you feel it?
Ms. Lopez felt it too
The world is out here
Not trapped in a compartment
Well, trapped in a subway
But without isolation 

Though my ice-cream is melting 
The city bikes are out for riding 
Though my battery is failing 
We have time to watch the stars dying 
Even though I'll miss my microwavable mac and cheese 
We'll roast hot dogs over candles easily 
Oh can you feel it?
The light in the darkness

*KAZOO SOLO*

42 years ago lights out in the city 
What will look like in another century 
I'm scared of what we will be 
With all the news surrounding me 
We all seemed stressed and a mess 
So sometimes it's nice to sit in the darkness 

But imagine each life is a candle
Nurture them, while you are able
And hold my hand and squeeze it tight
We'll make it to the sunlight

Oh can you feel it? 
The light in the darkness
Oh can you feel it>?
I feel it with you
The world is out here
Not trapped in a compartment 
Well, trapped in a subway 
But without isolation

Even with all the frustration 
We keep moving, keep biking, without a fixation
But that's how we work in this life
We walk a little and see what happens

Light In Darkness- beep beep New York City looking pretty

I write/play music :)
Basically Silly songs with Larry from veggie tales (just kidding. at least I hope I am.)
