"Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall [Remix]" Lyrics

I turn the music up,
I got my records on
I shut the world outside
until the lights come on

Maybe the streets alight,
maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating
to my favorite song

And all the kids they dance,
all the kids all night
Until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up,
I'm on a roll this time
And heaven is in sight

I turn the music up,
I got my records on
From underneath the rubble
sing a rebel song

Don't want to see another generation drop
I'd rather be a comma than a full stop

Maybe I'm in the black,
maybe I'm on my knees
Maybe I'm in the gap
between the two trapezes
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
Cathedrals in my heart

And we saw, oh, this light,
I swear you, emerge blinking into
To tell me it's alright, as we soar walls,
every siren is a symphony
And every tear's a waterfall,
is a waterfall, oh, is a waterfall
Oh, is a, is a waterfall,
every tear is a waterfall

So you can hurt, hurt me bad
But still I'll raise the flag
It was a waterfall
A waterfall

Every tear, every tear,
every teardrop is a waterfall
Every tear, every tear,
every teardrop is a waterfall
