Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
We're sending out a message to the future
That words could not communicate
Don't think it's something that's electric
Just 'cause were using the radio waves
We're turning on the lights
Down through the halls of time
Flip on the switch, illuminate the future
Send a shock through the power lines
Turn it up so everyone hears it
Transmit the signal to the world
You've got to listen for what you're missing
'Cause it's going to change your life
I want to see the lights illuminate the night
Our endless hearts burning like the stars
Lights of the world arise!
