[Verse 1: Brian]
We've been through days of thunder
Some people said we don't belong
They try to pull us under
But here we stand together
And we're million's strong

[Pre-Chorus: All, Nick & Brian]
Let's get on with the show
(Let's get started)
Turn the lights down low
(Turn the lights down low)
You were there from the start
(You were there)
We know who you are
And this one goes out to...

[Chorus: All & Brian]
Everyone, everyone, everyone
So this one goes out to you, everyone (yeah)
We're standing strong 'cause of what you've done
And this one goes out to you

[Verse 2: AJ]
We've been inside the circus
We took the pleasure with the pain
I guess there's something about us
Whatever comes around
We'll always stay the same, oh-yeah

[Pre-Chorus: All, Brian, (Nick) & AJ]
Let's get on with the show
(Oh, let's get started, yeah)
Turn the lights down low
(Turn the lights down low)
You were there from the start
(You were there)
We know who you are
(We know who you are)

[Chorus: All, AJ & Nick]
Everyone (everyone), everyone, everyone
And this one goes out to everyone (hey-yeah)
We're standing strong 'cause of what you've done
And this one goes out to you

[Bridge: AJ, Brian & All]
Now we're minutes away till it's time to play
Our heartbeats are rising, they're letting you in
Time for the show to begin
Here, we're standing strong 'cause of what you've done
This one goes out to you-you-you
You make us feel like we've just begun
And this one goes to you, yeah!

[Chorus: All, AJ & Brian]
Everyone, everyone (oh-yeah), everyone
Say this one goes out to everyone (oh-yeah)
We're standing strong 'cause of what you've done
And this one goes out to you, ooh
Everyone, everyone (yeah-yeah-hey!), everyone
Say this one goes out to everyone
We're standing strong 'cause of what you've done
And this one goes out to you

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
