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
