[Verse 1: Michael Ball]
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

[Chorus: Michael Ball]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak
I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

[Verse 2: Michael Ball]
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

[Chorus: Michael Ball]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak
I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

[Chorus: Michael Ball]
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you, dear
Louder, louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak
I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
