Born Again cover
05. When The Boys Light Up
Album: Born Again
Artist: Newsboys
         
 

Back & forth like a daytime drama, up & down like a yo-yo mama
Said there’s gonna be days like this ‘cause light and dark don’t coexist
How you gonna see through this fog? How you gonna get back on course?
You ain’t never gonna feel the force if you don’t connect to a power source
‘Cause you been swapping out day for night, but ya see a lamp-light burning bright
If ya pick your flip flops up off the porch we’re passing you the torch…

When the boys light up you know who gets the praise, who owns the show
When the boys light up it’s on, and we ain’t stopping til we’re done
We ain’t nothing but the conduits – He’s got the power, He’ll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind, light up and let it shine

I was feeling all overcome, had a faith gone dim and then some
Got a call from a band of brothers, turn the mic on, flash the Nikons
All the doubters – I heard ‘em say “Now the band’s gonna fade away”
But the boys are back for a second act, no excuses – we’re lighting fuses
You’re in the dawn of your finest hour, so get wired to the highest power
Pick a town, pick any site – get ready to ignite..

When we walk in His footsteps, it’s a brighter day
When we follow His Word, He lights the way
We lift up His banner and raise it high
We light up the sky
