I'll sing it one last time for you Then we really have to go You've been the only thing that's right In all I've done And I can barely look at you But every single time I do I know we'll make it anywhere Away from here Light up, light up, as if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you, dear To think I might not see those eyes Makes it so hard not to cry And as we say our long goodbye I nearly do Light up, light up, as if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you, dear Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak, I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say Light up, light up, as if you have a choice Even if you cannot hear my voice I'll be right beside you, dear Louder louder, and we'll run for our lives I can hardly speak, I understand Why you can't raise your voice to say
