It's there in the eyes of the children In the faces smiling in the windows You can come on out, come on open the doors Brush away the tears of freedom Now we're here, there's no turning back We have each other We have one voice Hand in hand we will lay the tracks Because the train is coming to carry you home Come dance with me Come on and dance into the light Oh, oh Everybody dance into the light There'll be no more hiding in shadows of fear There'll be no more chains to hold you The future is yours, you hold the key And there are no walls with freedom Now we're here, we won't go back We are one world We have one voice Side by side we are not afraid Because the train is coming to carry you home Come dance with me Come on and dance into the light Oh oh Everybody dance into the light Do you see the sun, it's a brand new day Oh, the world's in your hands, now use it What's past is past, don't turn around Brush away the cobwebs of freedom Now we're here, there's no turning back You have each other You have one voice Hand in hand you can lay the tracks Because the train is coming to carry you home Come dance with me Come on and dance into the light Oh oh Everybody dance into the light Oh, oh Everybody dance into the light Oh oh Dance, dance into the light Oh oh Come on and dance into the light Everybody (oh oh) Come on and dance into the light Everybody now (oh oh) Dance into the light Dance (oh oh) Come on and dance into the light Everybody now (oh oh) Come on and dance into the light (into the light) Oh oh Everybody dance into the light Everybody (oh oh) Everybody, dance into the light (into the light, into the light) Oh oh
