Light Up the Sky

(ooh) I still remember that little girl,

Running through the streets without a care.

Mama said, "Baby, dream as high as you can,"

Daddy taught me how to stand.

Old photographs, faded in the light,

Summer rain and endless nights.

We didn’t know that time could fly,

We thought forever meant goodbye.

And I lost some friends,

I lost some love,

I fell down hard,

But I got back up.

Now I look at the stars above,

And I know what I’m made of.

WE WERE YOUNG!

WE WERE WILD!

WE WERE LIVING LIKE WE’D NEVER DIE!

PUT YOUR HANDS UP TO THE SKY,

LET THE OLD DAYS COME ALIVE!

FOR EVERY TEAR, FOR EVERY SCAR,

FOR EVERY DREAM THAT TOOK US THIS FAR

— WE’RE STILL HERE!

WE’RE STILL ALIVE!

TONIGHT WE LIGHT UP THE SKY!

Oh-oh-oh,

We were young!

Oh-oh-oh, We are alive!

Oh-oh-oh,

Don’t let the moment die!

Tonight, tonight, We light up the sky!

First kiss underneath the streetlights,

First heartbreak on a Friday night.

I thought my world was coming to an end,

Then I learned to love again.

Some dreams came true,

Some slipped away, Some nights I cried Just to see the day.

But every failure made me stronger,

Every goodbye made me run longer.

And

if I could go back,

I’d tell that girl:

“Don’t be afraid.

You belong in this world.”

Mama, I hope you see me now.

Daddy, I finally understand somehow.

You gave me roots,

You gave me wings,

You taught me how to lose And still believe.

And if tomorrow takes me far away,

I’ll carry you inside me every day.

If you’re still dreaming — SCREAM!

If you’ve ever loved

— SCREAM! If you’ve ever lost — SCREAM!

If you’re still alive… PUT YOUR HANDS UP!

WE WERE YOUNG!

WE WERE WILD!

WE WERE LIVING LIKE WE’D NEVER DIE!

TONIGHT WE TURN OUR MEMORIES

INTO FIRE IN THE SKY!

FOR EVERY TEAR, FOR EVERY SCAR,

LOOK AT US —

LOOK HOW FAR!

WE’RE STILL HERE! WE’RE STILL ALIVE!

TOMORROW CAN WAIT… TONIGHT WE LIGHT UP THE SKY!

Oh-oh-oh… We were young.

Oh-oh-oh… And we’re still

alive.
