Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You would never frown
Never be down another day in your life
I know it's hard to see, take a look around
See for yourself that I could make it alright
I can take you up, up, up (up, up)
'Cause this game is keeping you down, down, down
Lace up your good shoes, I swear it's the right move tonight, girl
Take me on, come on out into the light (light)
Take me on, I can illuminate your life (life life)
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, leave it to me, I'll bring you out of that darkness
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side (the bright side)
Let's get out there and shine, like we supposed to do
Go where we moving, we belong in the light
I got you close to me, don't you run and hide
Turn it up baby it's glow time
I can take you up, up, up (up, up)
'Cause this game is keeping you down, down, down
That's why we gotta jump, jump, jump (jump, jump)
Lace up your good shoes
I swear it's the right move tonight, girl
Take me on, come on out into the light (light)
Take me on, I can illuminate your life (life life)
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, leave it to me, I'll bring you out of that darkness
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side (the bright side)
There's no explanation for
Fading out when the night is yours
What are we waiting for?
Light it up
The night is yours
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, turn up the light in here
Oh, leave it to me I'll bring you out of that darkness
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, the bright side
I'll take you to the bright side, the bright side
Come over to the bright side, (the bright side)
