Wake up kids We've got the dreamers disease Age fourteen We've got you down on your knees So polite We're busy still saying please. But when the night is falling You cannot find the light light You feel your dreams are dying Hold tight. You've got the music in you Don't let go You've got the music in you One dance left This world is gonna pull through Don't give up You've got a reason to live Can't forget We only get what we give. We ran a miracle mile We're flat broke But hey, we do it in style The bad rich God's flying in for your trial.
