Lyrics
Why shouldn't I turn on the lights
What's that look behind that smile
So bittersweet in your eyes
It ain't good - or am I wrong
I see your heart - can see your soul
Know who you are
So please don't play it cool
Let's sort it out before you leave
Why shouldn't I turn on the lights?
When the night seems to scare you
Why shouldn't I tear down the wall?
When its weight seems to crush you
This is all I wish for
Flying with you out of the blues
Bringing some ease into your soul
Why shouldn't we do it?
Look at those children
Untouched by the world
No cover-ups, no politics
Their games are pure and so free
Why is it so that we always end up
In that same old rat race of misery
There must be a way out - out there - somewhere
Let us not bathe in grief
Let us not sit and suffer
Let's not get stuck in the middle of never-never-land
Let us get out of here
Let us be free at last!
Why shouldn't I turn on the lights?
When the night seems to scare you
Why shouldn't I tear down the wall?
When its weight seems to crush you
This is all I wish for
Flying with you out of the blues
Bringing some ease into your soul
Why shouldn't we do it?
