Make me go

Is this just another day?
Can make it go your way
Just reach up to the top
Of your heart

Wake up to your dreams

Make it what you feel
'Cause it's alright
Right in front of you

Make me go, all night (All night)
Take it from above, a light (A light)
There's everything you need, tonight
Right in front of you (You-ou)

And it goes, all night (All night)
Take it from above, your light (Your light)
I'm everything you need, tonight
Right in front of you (You-ou)

And it goes

But when you are(?) away
In the night through day (?)
Be everything you want
From the start

And wake up in your dreams
Give you what you feel
'Cause I'm alright (Alright)
Right in front of you

Make me go, all night (All night)
Take it from above, tonight
I'm everything you need, alright
Right in front of you (You-ou)

Make me go, all night (All night)
Take it from above, tonight
I'm everything you need, alright
Right in front of you (You-ou)

Make me go

When the time comes
I'll be waiting right here for you
I'll be the one
When you need me, I'll show you heaven

When the time comes
