Julie and the Phantoms Cast Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're no liars, so we say what we wanna say
I'm awakened, no more faking
So we push all our fears away
Don't know if I'll make it 'cause I'm falling under
Close my eyes and feel my chest beating like thunder
Come alive
Watch me shine
I got a spark in me
Hands up if you can see
And you're a part of me
Hands up if you're with me
Now 'til eternity
Hands up if you believe
Been so long and now we're finally free
We're all bright now
What a sight now
Coming out like we're fireworks
Marching on proud
Turn it up loud
'Cause now we know what we're worth
We know we can make it
We're not falling down under
Close my eyes and feel my chest
Beating like thunder
I wanna fly
Come alive
Watch me shine
I got a spark in me
Hands up if you can see
And you're a part of me
Hands up if you're with me
Now 'til eternity
Hands up if you believe
Been so long and now we're finally free
I got a spark in me
Hands up if you can see
And you're a part of me
Hands up if you're with me
Now 'til eternity
Hands up if you believe
Been so long and now we're finally free
I got a spark in me
(I got a spark in me)
And you're a part of me
(And you're a part of me)
Now 'til eternity
(Now 'til eternity)
Been so long and now we're finally free
I got a spark in me
Hands up if you can see
And you're a part of me
Hands up if you're with me
Now 'til eternity
Hands up if you believe
Been so long and now we're finally free
I got a spark in me
Hands up if you can see
And you're a part of me
Hands up if you're with me
Now 'til eternity
Hands up if you believe
Been so long and now we're finally free
Finally free, yeah
