[Opening]
Sky lanterns that we've made
Lifting off from the cold hard ground
Will set the skies ablaze
Cause the stars in our eyes burnt out
[Verse 1]
You know, what I mean:
How we cling to the darkness
We know, what it takes
To be something we're proud of
Don't wait for the sunlight to brighten your day
Take up the torch and be strengthened
We can light up the darkness and fight through the pain
Work up a dream worth the chasin'
[Chorus 1]
Sky lanterns that we've made
In the dark, on the cold hard ground
Will set the skies ablaze
When the stars in our eyes burn out
And if it decides to rain
Imma light it up anyway!
We can't change night into day
If we don't try to light the way
[Verse 2]
Listen up, hear me out
Cause you're something we're proud of
I know that you are strong enough
Cause you've got a big heart, love
Keep strong your belief and fight for you dreams
This world is tough but it's worth it
We weren't put here on earth for are security
So dream a big dream and chase it
[Chorus 1]
Sky lanterns that we've made
In the dark, on the cold hard ground
Will set the skies ablaze
When the stars in our eyes burn out
And if it decides to rain
Imma light it up anyway
We can't change night into day
If we don't try to light the way
[Bridge]
(Away)
Away with our old selves: controlled by emotion
(Wow-ow-ow-ow) (Away)
Away with the thoughts that, were shrouded in dark
(Wow-ow-ow-ow) (Away)
We carry the lanterns of self revolution
(Wow-ow-ow-ow) (Away)
Cause our lives were not strung to conform to the setting sun!
[Chorus 2]
The efforts that we make
In the dark, when we're feeling down
Will teach our hearts the strength
That it takes keeping dark thoughts out
And if it causes me pain
Imma work it out anyway
We can't change night into day
If we don't try to light the way
[Chorus 1]
Sky lanterns that we've made
In the dark, on the cold hard ground
Will set the skies ablaze
When the stars in our eyes burn out
And if it decides to rain
Imma light it up anyway
We can't change night into day
If we don't try to light the way
[Outro]
(Sky lanterns that we've made)
(In the dark, on the cold hard ground)
(will set the skies ablaze)
(when the stars in our eyes burn out)
(and if it decides to rain)
