Every teardrop is a waterfall

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 favourite 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

As 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 oh oh
is a is a waterfall
every tear is a waterfall
oh oh oh

So you can hurt,
hurt me bad
but still I’ll raise
the flag

It was a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall
a wa wa wa wa wa-aterfall

every tear
every tear
every teardrop is a waterfall
every tear
every tear
every teardrop is a waterfall
every tear
every tear
every teardrop is a waterfall
