[Verse 1]
You close your eyes away from anything you see
Blocked out the sun and took for granted how it glows
Hiding in shadows where you always try to be
I see a drop of light, it's shining down on me

[Verse 2]
I get lost and so confused in the sparkle of a dream
And down my cheek a star is running like a tear
I hear the resonating sound we have to know
And like a tidal wave, it crashes into me

[Pre-Chorus]
Paint it any color, but you cannot erase your past
But you still can paint your future
It's bound to happen sooner, so let it paint your smile

[Chorus]
Burning with a strong desire, light 'em up like you're on fire
Illuminate the shadows of your worst nights
Hand to hand and heart to heart, we're shining brighter than a star
Now I'll light up the sky with you

[Verse 3]
How deep can all this darkness go into the night?
And can I find it if I jump and take a dive?
Got no direction, what we got is you and me
Combine our strength and we can break out of this maze
[Pre-Chorus]
Look left and then look right, we find ourselves back at the start
Surely we can find a way out, and if I get any say now
You'll find me and I will find you

[Chorus]
Burning with a strong desire, light 'em up like you're on fire
Illuminate the shadows of your worst nights
Hand to hand and heart to heart, we're shining brighter than a star
Now I'll light up the sky with you

[Bridge]
I can see you, and I can feel you, and in a dream I'll take your hand
Now I'll hold that hand forever, won't let it go, no, never
Now light up with your smile

[Chorus]
Burning with a strong desire, light 'em up like you're on fire
Illuminate the shadows of your worst nights
Hand to hand and heart to heart, we're shining brighter than a star
Now I'll light up the sky with you right by my side
Every night I'll pray for you, even though you don't want me to
I gotta hope my hope can give you power
Now I want you to believe that for you, I'd do anything
Open up your eyes, don't keep your view narrow
So please, just let me be your hero
