When The Lights Go Up - Nick Howard

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
