Lyrics
Inner Glow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm like a storm cloud, eager when you go out
Calm again
I'll ask permission for the wrong to win
Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on
In a haze, the beginning of your days
Gonna fall down
Got to get back up but at your own pace
Got to fill your cup
And find the way out of your own maze
Yeah, boy, what you said now
And hide the rule book, throw it in the waste
Look strong
Like you belong, ‘cause you do belong
Whether right or wrong, you belong
‘Cause I'm on your side
If you fail at least you tried
To keep your aching
Celebrating wonder-making heart alive
Yeah, and pride
Don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching
Celebrating wonder-making heart alone
Write your own song
Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song, the soul
The "me" I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to my song?
It is my song
So here’s a preview, shove it under old-new
Or call it rock or pop or Bach or fuck
Goddamn, where did we go wrong?
Now there's a category for every song
Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde
Yeah, we only want a field we can run through
Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde
So stride
If you fail at least you tried
To keep your aching celebrating wonder-making heart alive
And pride
Don't keep it all inside
Don't keep your aching celebrating wonder-making heart alone
Write your own song
Whatever happened to our inner glow?
Whatever happened to the song, the soul, the me I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
Whatever happened to the song?
Gonna wake up strong, yeah, we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah, we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, yeah, we're all gonna wake up strong
Write your own song
Gonna wake up strong, yeah, we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong, we're all gonna wake up strong
Gonna wake up strong
Yeah, we’re writing our own song
Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to
Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to
Yeah, we only want to fly by the side
Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde
Whatever happened to our inner glow?
(Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to)
Whatever happened to the song, the soul
The "me" I used to know?
Whatever happened to my radio?
(Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to)
Whatever happened to the song?
(To the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde)
