[Verse 1]
Awoooh
Yeah, we're all fast breakers comin' out of the gates
Takin' chances, we're the crash and burn
Yeah, there is a way with beauty, but you never gave a love
Across the line where none return
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I watch my television, almost lost my mind
It said, "Open your eyes, leave it all behind."
[Chorus]
I heard the wind a-whisperin', strong magic comin' on
They comin' on for sure
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
Won't recognize them anymore, haha
[Verse 2]
Wolves at my door, wised up quick
Turned here and gone from on the go
Seemed the old folks who come up short
Were the pretty little kids who didn't want it, no
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I had a crazy vision, one I can't deny
And it said, "Open my eyes, leave it all behind."
[Chorus]
I heard the wind a-whisperin', strong magic comin' on
It's comin' on for sure
Come see your children; yeah, they're lighting up the skies
You won't recognize them anymore
[Bridge]
Ooh, mama, see the firelight
Ooh, we're comin' out tonight
Ooh, mama, see the firelight
Ooh, lighting up the sky, light 'em up
[Guitar solo]
[Outro]
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light up the sky
Light 'em up
