Lyrics
I gotta see you moving fast
See you come my way
See the dreams, I hope they last
Never fade away
Gotta see the lights above
Make it loud tonight
Gotta set it all a-fire
Set it all a-light
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar I am gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man I ain't got a choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I don't what I'm gonna do
Maybe not tonight
Gotta set you all a-fire
Gotta treat you right
I can see the flashing lights
Lit before your love
Gotta hear the thunder roar
Coming from above
See the flashing lights
Hear the thunder roar
I'm gonna set you all a-light
Gotta make it man
I ain't got no choice
Gotta fill this hall tonight
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
Helpless
I can see the stars
I can see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell If I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
I can see the stars
I can see what's going on
Every night alone I sing my song just for fun
Only time will tell If I'll make it myself someday
This stage is mine
Music is my destiny
Cannot squeeze the life from me
