Lyrics

What in the world are we go ing to (E)do?

Look at what ev ’ry bo dy’s go ing through.

What kind of world do you want it to (E)be?

Am I the fu ture or the his to ry?

’Cause ev ’ry one hurts, ev ’ry one (A)cries,

ev ’ry one tells each oth er all (A)kinds of lies.

Ev ’ry one falls, ev ’ry bo dy (A)dreams and doubts,

got to keep (F#)danc ing when the lights go out.

How in the world am I go ing to (E)see?

You as my broth er not my en e my?

’Cause ev ’ry one hurts, ev ’ry one (A)cries,

ev ’ry one sees the col our in each (A)oth er’s eyes.

Ev ’ry one loves, ev ’ry bo dy gets their (A)hearts ripped out,

got to keep (F#)danc ing when the lights go out.

Gon na keep (F#)danc ing when the lights go out.

Hold tight for ev ’ry day (F#)life.

At first light

throw my arms out o pen wide.

Hal le (F#)lu
