When The Boys Light Up

Newsboys - When the Boys Light Up
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

When the boys light up, light up

Back and forth like a daytime drama

Up and down like a yo-yo mama
Say there's gonna be days like this
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
Cause ya been swapping out day for night
But ya see a lamp light burning bright

If ya get your flip-flops off the porch
We're passing you the torch

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show

When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till 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

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

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

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

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show

When the boys light up, it's on
We ain' t stopping till we're done

If 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

When we walk in His footsteps
It's a brighter day

When we follow His word

He lights the way

When we lift up His banner
and raise it high

We light up the sky

When the boys light up, light up

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show

When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till we're done

If we ain't nothing but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show

When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till we're done

If 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
