Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Shut your eyes now
The world looks better with the lights out
This is our time now
To create and invent
We can be giants now
So let's wait for the blackout
This is our time now
To believe and pretend
[Verse 2]
Who's to hold up the sky if not you and I?
So long, so long, so long
Who's to tame the volcanoes on mountains high?
So long, so long, so long, so long
[Verse 3]
Put the knife down
But don't you cut your own heart out
I need you alive now
Learn to hold your own hand
Come to life now
Let's leave before sundown
'Cause this is our time now
Put an end to an end
[Verse 4]
Who's to hold up the sky if not you and I?
So long, so long, so long
Who's to tame the volcanoes on mountains high?
So long, so long, so long
Just how long does it take to drink oceans dry?
So long, so long, so long
And every storm has got its own eye
So long, so long, so long, so long
[Verse 5]
(Hold on) Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
[Verse 6]
Who's to hold up the sky if not you and I?
So long, so long, so long
Who's to tame the volcanoes on mountains high?
So long, so long, so long
Just how long does it take to drink oceans dry?
So long, so long, so long
And someday, we'll say goodbye to goodbye
So long, so long, so long, sail on
[Verse 7]
Hold on, hold on
So long, so long, so long
Hold on, hold on
So long, so long, so long
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
