Light It Up

Yeah… yeah… Cool Joel… Oh-oh-oh… Yeah…

They don't see the nights we cried… They only see the morning

light… But tonight…

I came from a place where nobody knows my name,

Had a little dream but I carried big faith.

Mama said, “Son, don't be afraid to try,” So I kept my

head up and I looked to the sky.

Many nights I was talking to myself,

Asking God, “When will it be my turn?” But I learned something

about this life, Sometimes you gotta fall before you learn to fly.

Now I'm walking with a different energy,

I know there's something bigger waiting for me.

If they don't believe,

that's okay, I'll let the music speak for me someday.

And I know…

I know my time is coming.

I know…

The whole world gon' hear something.

So tonight, Forget about tomorrow.

Raise your glass, Forget about the sorrow.

We light it up,

up, up! Tonight we light it up!

Hands in the sky,

everybody wake up, If you got a dream,

better never give up!

We light it up,

up, up! Cool Joel light it up!

From the bottom to the top,

We ain't ever gonna stop!

Oh-oh-oh…

We light it up!

Oh-oh-oh… We light it up!

I want my people dancing when they hear my sound,

I want my song playing when they gather around.

I want somebody somewhere saying my name,

Not because I'm famous,

but because they feel the same.

I've got stories that I need to tell,

I've got melodies that I know too well.

Every scar became a part of my song,

Every time they said “no,” made me push more strong.

And if tomorrow brings another storm,

I'll keep moving till the rain is gone.

I don't need to know how far I'll go,

I just need to know I'm ready for the road.

And I know…

I know my time is coming.

I know…

The whole world gon' hear something.

So tonight, Forget about tomorrow.

Raise your glass, Forget about the sorrow.

We light it up,

up, up! Tonight we light it up!

Hands in the sky,

everybody wake up, If you got a dream,

better never give up!

We light it up,

up, up! Cool Joel light it up!

From the bottom to the top,

We ain't ever gonna stop!

Oh-oh-oh… We light it up!

Oh-oh-oh… We light it up!

If you're listening right now,

And you're chasing something…

Don't let nobody tell you

That you cannot become it.

Your story is still being written,

Your chapter is not the end.

And when your moment finally comes… Remember who you were before the

lights. One life…

One dream… One chance… One team… If you believe,

say yeah! (Yeah!) If you're ready,

say yeah! (Yeah!)

Cool Joel!

We light it up,

up, up! Tonight we light it up!

Hands in the sky,

everybody wake up, If you got a dream,

better never give up!

We light it up,

up, up! Cool Joel light it up!

From the bottom to the top,

We ain't ever gonna stop!

We light it up!

We light it up!

Tonight is our night!

We light it up!

Cool Joel… We light it up!

Yeah… From nothing… To something.

From a dream… To reality.

Cool Joel. Remember the name.

We light it up.
