Lighten Up

Lighten Up
Lighten Up
Hold out your hand, I'll lead you up
Into some promise land
Out into the night, reaching for the sky's
Once you're down on the flying
That's for evermore
One day you will know, how high we can go
Believe me
(Lighten Up) How low can you go my love
(Lighten Up) How low can you go
(Lighten Up) How low can you go my love
(Lighten Up) How low can you go now
Hold it down, make yourself sick
We've been living like, lunatics
Don't let the rhythm slip
They tell me it's all in the hips
Get back to work, those watching eyes
And teach you how to judge
One day you'll know
How high we can go
Believe me
(Lighten Up) How low can you go my love
(Lighten Up) How low can you go
(Lighten Up) How low can you go my love
(Lighten Up) How low can you go now
You, and I, we are so high
Within, no no
But we might fall, one day
Within no, no
How low, we both could go
Heaven the heart and the soul
And i'll control
How low can you go my love
How low can you go
(how low) how low can you go my love
(how low) how low can you go
(how low) how low can you go my love
(how low) how low can you go
How low can you go
How low can you go my love
(how low) How low can you go
(how low) How low can you go now
(how low) How low can you go my love
(how low) How low can you go
My love
How low we can go my love
How low we can go now
