verse 1: Back and forth like a daytime drama
Eb Fm
Up and down like a yo-yo mama
Eb Fm
Say there's gonna be days like this
Ab Bb
Cause light and dark don't coexist
How ya gonna see through this fog
How ya gonna get back on course
Ya ain't never gonna feel the force
If ya don't connect to a power source
Db
pre-chorus 1: Cause ya been swapping out day for night
Db
But ya see a lamp light burning bright
G
If ya get your flip-flops off the porch
C7
We're passing you the torch
Fm
When the boys light up, ya know
Ab Cm
Who gets the praise who owns the show
Fm
When the boys light up, it's on
Ab Bb
We ain't stopping till we're done
Fm
We ain't nothing but the conduits
Ab Bb
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Db C7
Leaving the dark behind
Eb Fm
Light up and let it shine
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
verse 2: I was feeling all overcome
Had a faith gone dim and then some
Gotta call from a band of brothers
Turn the mic on, flash the Nikons
All the doubters, I heard them say,
Now the band's gonna fade away
But the boys are back for a second act
No excuses, we're lighting fuses
pre-chorus 2: You're in the dawn of your finest hour
So get wired to the highest power
If you're down pick any sight
Get ready to ignite
chorus
Db Ab
When we walk in His footsteps
Eb Db
It's a brighter day
When we follow His word
He lights the way
When we lift up His banner
And raise it high
C
We light up the sky
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
chorus (2x)
