I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside, until the lights come on
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance, all the kids dance all night 
Until Monday morning, feels another life 
I turn the music up, I'm on a roll this time 
And heaven is in sight 

I turn the music up, I got my records on 
From underneath a rubble, I sing a rebel song 
Don't want to see another generation drop 
I'd rather be in a comma, than in a full stop 

Maybe I'm in the black, maybe I'm on my knees 
Maybe I'm in the gap, between the two trapezes 
But my heart is beating and my pulses start 
Cathedrals in my heart 

And we saw, ooh, this light
I swear you, emerge blinking into 
To tell me it's alright 
As we soar walls, every sirene is a symphony 
And every tear's a waterfall, is a waterfall, oh 
Is a waterfall, oohh, is a waterfall, ooh
Every tear is a waterfall, oohh

So you can hurt, hurt me bad 
But still I'll raise the flag

It was a wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall
A wa, wa, wa, wa, waterfall

Every tear, every tear 
Every teardrop is a waterfall (4x)
