Light It Up (Live)

[Verse 1: Luke]
Sunset stole the light
That colored in your eyes
And everything in sight
Was lost in silhouette
You're lost in silhouette

[Chorus: Joel & Luke]
Light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone?
Light it up and watch it fly
Cause you can go anywhere you want tonight

Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
(Hey)

[Verse 2: Joel & Luke]
I could wear the weight
And take it all the way
But every creature's fate
Is theirs and theirs alone
It's yours and yours alone

[Chorus: Joel & Luke]
So light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone?
Just light it up and watch it fly
Cause you can go anywhere you want tonight

So light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
Light it, light it up
Light it up and watch it fly
Cause you could be anything you want tonight

[Post-Chorus: Luke]
Yes, it could be a beautiful morning
Yes, it could be a beautiful morning ohh

[Monologue: Joel]
So Luke and I have a good friend who struggled with depression
And there was a time where he would slip blankets over the windows and switch off the lights and literally live in darkness
We wrote this song for him
I remember when it came time to play it for him for the first time, we didn't have the heart to tell him that we had written it for him cause
Well, we were afraid of offending him
Needless to say, it was his favorite song that we had ever written
Well, months went by, and eventually we were like you know what, the secret's gotta get out, gonna get out, we gotta tell him
So we pulled him aside one day and we said "hey we want you to know that we wrote this song for you"
And he didn't say much, he stood up, he walked out of the room, he got in his car, and he drove off, and we thought "oh we've blown it"
About ten minutes later he called us and with tears in his voice he said "thank you for writing that song for me, it gives me hope"
And it was in that moment that we realized that music has power, doesn't it?
It does, but when you merge the power of music with the ultimate power of the Gospel, it not only has the ability to impact people's day
But it can transform their lives for eternity, do you believe it?

[Bridge: Joel,Luke, & Both]
Everything you never said
And all the things you thought instead
And everyone you never knew
And everywhere you're going to
And every song you wanna sing
And every smile as it begins
It's yours and yours alone
It's yours and yours alone
Yes it's yours and yours alone, Nashville
It's yours and yours alone
It's yours and yours alone
It's yours and yours alone

[Chorus: Joel & Luke]
So light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone?
Just light it up and watch it fly
Cause you can go anywhere you want tonight
(Yeah-eh)

Light it up and let it go
Don't you see that you are not alone?
Just light it up and watch it fly
Cause you can be anything you want tonight

[Outro: Joel,Luke, & Both]
It could be a beautiful morning
Yes, it could be a beautiful morning
Yes, it could be a beautiful morning
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
