WHEN THE LIGHTS COME ON [Verse 1 - Woman] I've been carrying the weight of a long, long road, Smiling on the outside, hiding what I hold. Every little heartache, every sleepless night, Searching for a reason to believe in something bright. [Verse 1 - Man] I've been chasing shadows, trying to outrun time, Building up my walls, pretending I was fine. Then I heard the music cut through all the noise, Like a whisper in the dark saying, "You still have a choice." [Pre-Chorus] Woman: Maybe we're all broken... Man: Maybe that's alright... Woman: Maybe every lost soul... Both: Is looking for a little light. [Chorus] Both: When the lights come on and the world fades away, We remember who we are beneath the everyday. Every scar, every dream, every tear we've known, Turns into a river carrying us home. Woman: Hold on to the feeling... Man: Don't let it disappear... Both: When the lights come on, We know we're still here. [Verse 2] Man: Funny how a moment can change what you see, A stranger in the crowd becomes what you need. Woman: Funny how a melody can open up a door, To a part of your heart you've forgotten before. Man: I see courage in your eyes. Woman: I see kindness in yours. Both: And suddenly we're standing Where hope lives once more. [Bridge] Woman: Maybe we don't need all the answers tonight... Man: Maybe we just need one hand reaching through the night... Woman: I've spent so long searching... Man: I've spent so long running... Both: Now the beat of our hearts says we're becoming... More than our fears... More than our past... More than the moments We thought wouldn't last... We're still standing... We're still dreaming... We're still reaching For the light we believe in... [Harmony Section] Woman: Ohhh... Can you hear it calling? Man: Calling us home... Woman: Ohhh... Like a river flowing... Man: Never alone... Both: Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh... We're stronger than we know... Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh... More than we've been told... [Final Chorus] Both: When the lights come on and the world fades away, We remember who we are beneath the everyday. Every scar, every dream, every tear we've known, Turns into a river carrying us home. Woman: I can feel tomorrow... Man: Shining through tonight... Both: When the lights come on, Everything feels right. When the lights come on, And our hearts begin to rise, We can see forever In each other's eyes. Every road that brought us here, Every storm we've traveled through, Led us to this moment, Led me here to you. [Outro] Woman: The music fades... Man: But the feeling stays... Woman: The night moves on... Man: But the light remains... Both: And we'll carry it with us, Long after the song is gone... Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh... Long after the song is gone... Ohhh-ohhh-ohhh... The light goes on... And on... And on...
