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 mornig feels another life

i turn the music up

i'm on a roll this time

and heaven is in sight

uhh. uhh. uhh. uhh. 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 waterfall

every tear

is a waterfall

oh oh oh

so you can hurt

hurt me bad

but still i'll raise the flag

oh

it was a waterfall

it was a waterfall

every tear

every tear

every teardrop is a waterfall
