Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What in the world are we going to do?
Look at what everybody's going through
[Verse 2]
What kind of world do you want it to be?
Am I the future or the history?
[Verse 3]
'Cause everyone hurts, everyone cries
Everyone tells each other all kinds of lies
Everyone falls, everybody dreams and doubts
Got to keep dancing when the lights go out
[Verse 4]
How in the world am I going to see
You as my brother, not my enemy?
[Verse 5]
'Cause everyone hurts, everyone cries
Everyone sees the colour in each other's eyes
Everyone loves, everybody gets their hearts ripped out
Got to keep dancing when the lights go out
Gonna keep dancing when the lights go out
[Verse 6]
Hold tight for everyday life
Hold tight for everyday life
[Verse 7]
And at first light
Throw my arms out open-wide
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelu, halle-, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelu, halle-, hallelujah
Written by: Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, John Metcalfe, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion
