Lyrics
I've got to see you moving fast
See you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last
Never fade away got to see the lights above
Make it loud tonight
Got to set it all afire, set it all alight

See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am going to set you all alight
Got to make it man, I haven't got a choice
Got to fill this hall tonight

Helpless (Helpless) helpless (Helpless)
Helpless (Helpless) helpless (Helpless)

I don't know what I'm going to do
Maybe not tonight got to set you all afire
Got to treat you right
I can see the flashing lights
Lit before your love
Got to hear the thunder roar
Coming from above

See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I am going to set you all alight
Got to make it man, I haven't got a choice
Got to fill this hall tonight

Helpless (Helpless) helpless (Helpless)
Helpless (Helpless) helpless (Helpless)

I can see the stars
I can see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll
Make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny

Cannot squeeze the life from me

I can see the stars
I can see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell if I'll
Make it myself someday
This stage is mine, music is my destiny

Cannot squeeze the life from me
