What in the world are we going to do? Look at what everybody's going through What kind of world do you want it to be? Am I the future or the history? 'Cause everyone hurts Everyone cries Everyone tells each other all kinds of lies Everyone falls Everybody dreams and doubts Got to keep dancing when the lights go out How in the world I am going to see? You as my brother Not my enemy? 'Cause everyone hurts Everyone cries Everyone sees the color in each other's eyes Everyone loves Everybody gets their hearts ripped out Got to keep dancing when the lights go out Gonna keep dancing when the lights go out Hold tight for everyday life Hold tight for everyday life At first light Throw my arms out open wide Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu-halle-hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu-halle-hallelujah Yes
