Songwriter: Joey Tempest John Norum John Levén

I was circling round like a lost dog at night
Sniffin’ around for some sign of life
Then Sammy sang and it felt so right
Started up a fire that’s never been put out

[Chorus]
Cause every star is a fading sun
Let’s light it up
Eveiy kid got to hit the ground and run
Let’s light it up
Oh light it up

Now things began to change in my neighborhood
The girls were looking pretty and the booze began to taste so good
Every generation gotta go round the bend
Take a little trip and hopefully get back again

[Chorus]

Cause we want it, yeah we want it
We can have it, so let’s have it
Yeah we want it, yeah we want it
We can have it, let’s have it
Let’s have it

[Chorus]

Europe is a Swedish rock band formed in Upplands Väsby, Sweden in 1979, by frontman Joey Tempest, guitarist John Norum, bassist Peter Olsson, and drummer Tony Reno. They obtained a major breakthrough in Sweden in 1982 by winning the televised competition “Rock-SM” (Swedish Rock Championships): it was the first time this competition was held, and Europe became a larger success than the competition itself.
