Lyrics

I’ll sing it one last time for you,

then we real ly have to go.

You’ve been the on ly thing that’s right

in all I’ve done.

Light up, light up, as if you have a choice, e ven if you can not hear my voice, I’ll be right be side you, dear.

Loud er, loud er, and we’ll run for our lives; I can hard ly speak, I un der stand why you can’t raise your voice to say...
