When the lights come on
If you only have one chance,
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you were to die tomorrow,
Oh, what would you do today
I live my life
I chase my dreams
Oh, there's nothing you can say to me
That can .hold me back from my heart
Imma' ignite when i'm lost in the dark
Ladies and gentlemen
I need your eyes closed
Sealed tight ,
Don't think of this is rap
This is real life,
Just so you can know
Exactly what it feels like,
Going where you're going
But, it just doesn't feel right,
Stuck in a space,
Where you can't breathe, can't leave
Held against your will
Wishing you had hands free,
Just so you can find your way
Escaping from inside the maze,
Praying that eventually
Darkness will turn to brighter days,
Imagine for a moment
That you couldn't
See the path in front of you
In fact everything above and under you
Do you stand still or do you your best to try and stumble through?
or take a moment to reflect and
Let it humble you,
See life ain't just about the cause there's effects
The decision that you make determines what happens next,
Hit the switch, and you can leave the past behind ya,
But trust me when I tell you
It'll blind ya,
When the lights come on
If you only have one chance
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you were to die tomorrow
Oh, what would you do today
I live my life
I chase my dreams
Oh, there's nothing you can say to me
That can hold me back from my heart
Imma' ignite when i'm lost in the dark
uhh oh what sight to be seen
When the light hits you right
When it might be extreme,
Throw your shades on and stay strong
No way to block the shine,
This type of bright you better all stop in time
Its sorta like a light when it's flashing for a picture,
Paparazzi, never see it comin' until it hits ya ,
Unexpectedly, eventually, you see it change
Things that once were normal to you start feeling strange,
You realize the world is kinda upside down,
Time to readjust, plus we must shine now,
People all around, wanna know what's goin' on
Last night my life changed
When it came to breaking dawn,
All I'm tryin' to do is share how I'm growin'
When I stroll up in the spot, you swear that I was glowing,
I was never perfect, never claimed to be,
In due time it'll all be plain to see
When the lights come on
If you only have one chance
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you were to die tomorrow
Oh, what would you do today
I live my life
I chase my dreams
Oh, there's nothing you can say to me
That can hold me back from my heart
Imma' ignite when i'm lost in the dark
When the lights come on
When the lights come on
When the lights come on
When the lights come on
