Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, boy, don't believe 'em
The old lies never could come true
Hey boy, don't believe 'em
Everything that they told ya to
[Verse 2]
Hey, boy, don't believe 'em
We're the nation that eats our youth
Hey, boy, don't believe 'em
None of us are bulletproof, yeah
[Verse 3]
Deep down there's a boy inside
Asleep, waitin' for the sun to rise
Wake up, wake up
Still looking for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life, I've been livin' in the darkest night
Still looking for the blinding light
To take me higher and higher
[Verse 4]
Hey, girl, be yourself now
Don't believe what they told you to
Hey, girl, be yourself now
Your skin's more than a pin-up suit
Hey, girl, don't conform now
No one else's got soul like you
Hey, girl, you're a strong one
But none of us are bulletproof, yeah
[Verse 5]
Deep down there's a hope inside
You got wings but you're scared to fly
Wake up, wake up
Still lookin' for the blinding light
Still looking for the reason why
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
All my life, I've been livin' in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
[Verse 6]
(Higher)
Deep down there's a hope inside
Brighter than the fears of my mind
I keep lookin' for the blindin' light
It's a hope that keeps me alive
Wake up, wake up
[Verse 7]
Keep lookin' for the blindin' light
Keep lookin' for the reason why
Keep lookin' for the sun to shine
Take me higher and higher
[Verse 8]
All my life, I've been livin' in the darkest night
Still looking for the sun to rise
To take me higher and higher
The blinding light, the blinding light
Yeah, I've been waiting all my life
To take me higher and higher
Blinding light, you're the vision that gives me sight
All the blinding light, take me higher and higher
