Whose gonna save the world save the world tonight?
Whose gonna bring you back to life?
We're gonna make it you and i,
We’re gonna save the world tonight

There was a time, I used to look into my father's eyes
In a happy home, I was a king, I had a golden throne
Those days are gone, now the memories are on the wall
I hear the songs from the places where I was born

My father said "don't you worry, don't you worry child
Heavens got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry child"
Yeah
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh 

We're far from home, it's for the better
What we dream, it's all that matters
We're on our way, united
Turn the crowd up now,
We'll never back down
Shoot down a skyline, watch it in primetime
Turn up the love now, listen up now, turn up the love

Whose gonna save the world save the world tonight?
Whose gonna bring you back to life?
We're gonna make it you and i,
We’re gonna save the world tonight

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh 
Heaven's got a plan for you
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
Whose gonna save the world save the world tonight?
Whose gonna bring you back to life?

Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh 
Don't you worry, don't you worry child
'Cause I'm gonna bring you back to life
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh 
Don't you worry no
Don’t you worry no
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh 
Don't you worry no
Don’t you worry no
