Light Up
Sam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mornings in bed, afternoons not far
Bodies changing, losing our minds
Wasting away on our golden years
But it's alright, have no fear

A little unsure
First step to the door
Don't you turn and run
Hiding from the sun
Hey you got a plan?
Time to make a stand
(Let's) even out the score

And every time we walk, we'll walk so far that we'll
Burn our feet upon the starts can you
Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up
Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up

So roll out of bed, put your face back on
No more mistakes, internal wars
The ticking clock you hear ain't slowing down
But it's alright, we'll make it out

Don't be unsure
We can have more
Don't you turn and run
Racing from the sun
Hey I've got a plan
(It's) time to make a stand
Let's get off from the floor

And every time we talk our words will soar so far
Spread our voice to every star will you
Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up
Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up

Don't worry
Don't turn away
We have spent too long running in place
Don't worry
Just hurry
We can have it all
And we will light it all

And every time we stop it won't last long we will
Travel out to every star can you
Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up
Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up





Light up Light up for me c'mon will you
Light up Light up
