Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Light up, light up the sky!
You're so afraid, you walk away this time.
Did you give enough?
Or you just give up
Your chance to shine?
You've got one last chance to strike,
It's the final round, I'm counting down
Straight to the top, never drop!
We're not going down tonight,
We are are shooting stars,
Lighting up the sky so bright!
So whenever you feel you're falling
When you take the hardest blow
We never let go!
We are shooting stars, tonight!
Light up! Light up!
Light up! Light up!
Tick after tock,
No it's time to walk the line.
And you feel the fire,
Is it burning up inside?
You've got one more rule,
Cos there's one last step to take.
In the final round we count you out.
Straight to the top, never drop!
We're not going down tonight,
We are are shooting stars,
Lighting up the sky so bright!
So whenever you feel you're falling
When you take the hardest blow
We never let go!
We are shooting stars, tonight!
We are shooting stars!
Light up, light up the sky!
We are shooting stars!
Light up, light up the sky!
Straight to the top, never drop!
We're not going down tonight,
We are are shooting stars,
Lighting up the sky so bright!
So whenever you feel you're falling
When you take the hardest blow
We never let go!
We are shooting stars, tonight!
We are shooting stars!
Light up, light up the sky!
We are shooting stars!
Light up, light up the sky!
We are shooting stars!
Light up, light up the sky!
