Hey boy, don’t believe 'em
The old lies never could come true
Hey boy, don’t believe 'em
Everything that they told you to
Hey boy, don’t believe 'em
We’re the nation that eats our youth
Hey boy, don’t believe 'em
None of us are bullet proof
Yeah
Deep down there’s a boy inside
Asleep ready for the sun to rise
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
To take me higher and higher
All my life
I’ve been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the blinding light
To take me higher and higher
Hey girl, be yourself now
Don’t believe what they told you to
Hey girl, be yourself now
Your skin’s more than a pin-up suit
Hey girl, don’t conform now
No one else got soul like you
Hey girl, you're a strong one
But none of us are bullet proof
Yeah
Deep down there’s a hope inside
You’ve got wings but you’re scared to fly
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
To take me higher and higher
All my life
I’ve been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the blinding light
To take me higher and higher
Deep down there’s a hope inside
Brighter than the fears in my mind
I keep looking for the blinding light
It’s the hope that keeps me alive
Wake up, wake up
Keep looking for the blinding light
Keep looking for the reason why
Keep looking for the sun to shine
To take me higher and higher
All my life
I've been living in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to rise
To take me higher and higher
The blinding light
The blinding light
I've been waiting all my life
To take me higher and higher
Blinding light
You’re the vision that gives me sight
The blinding light
You take me higher and higher
