Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weβre coming down
We never sleep
Never get tired
Through urban fields
And suburban lights
Turn the crowd up now
Shoot down the skyline
Watch it on prime time
Turn up the love now
Listen up now, turn up the love
Whoβs gonna save the world tonight?
Whoβs gonna bring it back to life?
Weβre gonna make it, you and I
Weβre gonna save the world tonight
Itβs far from home
Itβs for the better
What we dream, itβs all that matters
Weβre on our way, united
Turn the crowd up now
Weβll never back down
Shoot down the skyline
Watch it on prime time
Turn up the love now
Listen up now, turn up the love
Whoβs gonna save the world tonight
Whoβs gonna bring it back to life
Weβre gonna make it, you and I
Weβre gonna save the world tonight
Whoβs gonna save
Whoβs gonna bring
