[Verse 1]
We are the stars up in the sky
We light the darkness, you and I
We are the flicker in the night
Never shined so bright
We are the strong and though we fall
We fought for love, we risked it all
Never backed down against the walls
It's what we're living for, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on rising higher
Blazing through the fire
Right down to the wire (right down to the wire)
Won't stop fighting harder
As we stand together
Chase our dreams forever
Forever, forever, forever
[Chorus]
Now we have wings, we can fly
We can be kings, you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have wings, we can fly
We can be kings, you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the skies
[Verse 2]
Although the road ahead was long
I was too weak to carry on
You picked me up, you were my home
I never stood alone
No one can tell us what we want
No one can stop us anymore
No looking back, we're moving forward
No one can take this moment away
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on rising higher (Keep on rising higher)
Blazing through the fire
Right down to the wire (Right down to the wire)
Won't stop fighting harder
As we stand together
Chase our dreams forever (our dreams forever)
Forever, forever, forever
[Chorus]
Now we have wings, we can fly (we can fly, yeah)
We can be kings, you and I (you and I, yeah)
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have, wings we can fly
We can be kings, you and I (you and I, yeah)
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
[Bridge]
When skies are grey (oh)
I'll light your way (oh)
I'll be your shoulder (oh)
You can lean on me (oh, yeah)
When skies are grey (woo)
I'll light your way (woo-hoo)
I'll be your shoulder (I'll be your shoulder)
You can lean on me
[Chorus]
Now we have wings, we can fly
We can be kings, you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have wings, we can fly (now we have wings)
We can be kings, you and I
(And we can be kings) Wipe away the tears from our eyes
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) We light up the sky
[Outro]
We light up the sky
Light up the sky
We light up the sky
We light up the sky
We are the stars up in the sky
We light the darkness, you and I
We are the flicker in the night
Never shined so bright
We are the strong and though we fall
We fought for love, we risked it all
Never backed down against the walls
It's what we're living for, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Keep on rising higher
Blazing through the fire
Right down to the wire (right down to the wire)
Won't stop fighting harder
As we stand together
Chase our dreams forever
Forever, forever, forever
[Chorus]
Now we have wings, we can fly
We can be kings, you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the sky
Now we have wings, we can fly
We can be kings, you and I
Wipe away the tears from our eyes
We light up the skies
[Verse 2]

Light up the sky
We light up the sky
We light up the sky
