When The Lights Go Up Testo

Walking on a tightrope with my back against the wall
I really want to lwt you in but I'm scared incase i fall
I'm string into emptiness 'cos it's easier to see
Just draw back the curtains and turn up the lights and you'll see

When the lights go up
I can be you, I can be me
When the lights go up
I can be free
I can be free
Just when you think nobody's listening
Everybody knows your name
And when you step into the sunshine
life will never be the same
well this time you'll forget your lonliness
and then you'll start to shine
I'm starting to see with a new pair of eyes
I'm alive

When the lights go up
I can be you, I can be me
When the lights go up
I can be free

When the lights go up
I can be you, I can be me
I can be anything I want to
I can be free
As I look out tonight at a sea of the faces
I've dreamed of living my life just like this
Finally I've found a place on earth to breath
I'm pinching myself so that I could be certain
My heart starts to skip as they draw back the curtains
Look at me now I'm free

When the lights go up
I can be you, I can be me
When the lights go up
I can be free
