TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE

Sanoitukset

[INTRO — CRUNCHY GUITAR RIFF, DRUMS AND BASS KICK IN] [FEMALE — STRONG, SUNG] We took our hits… [MALE — GRITTY] Yeah, we took our share! [FEMALE — DEFIANT] Look at us now… [MALE — EXPLOSIVE] LIKE WE EVER GAVE A DAMN! [VERSE 1 — MALE LEAD] There were nights we thought we’d had enough, When getting through the day was bloody tough. We kept it together when we came undone, Kept moving forward when we wanted to run. Life dealt its hand, we took the blows, Hell, we’ve seen things nobody knows. But here we are, and here’s the truth, It never took the fight out of me and you. [PRE-CHORUS — FEMALE JOINS, BUILDING] [FEMALE] We made it through what we couldn’t see, [MALE] Still got that fire burning in me! [BOTH] We’ve got no time to live in fear, We’re still standing — we’re still here! [CHORUS — BOTH, EXPLOSIVE FULL BAND] HEY! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! Still got a heartbeat, still got a fight! We gave enough, we paid our dues, Now we’ve got nothing left to prove! Let the world keep spinning, let the clock run dry, We’ve got no damn intention of letting this life pass us by! And if tomorrow wants a fight— [FEMALE] LET IT WAIT! [MALE] IT CAN WAIT TILL MORNING! [BOTH] HEY! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! WE’RE STILL HERE — AND WE’RE FEELING ALIVE! [VERSE 2 — MALE LEAD, FEMALE RESPONSES] We know the taste of a bad damn year, The nights we laughed to hide the fear. We hit the ground, thought that was the end, Then got back up and did it all again. [FEMALE] We got back up! [MALE] We learned the hard way what matters most, [FEMALE] Still got our fire! [MALE] So raise it up for the ones who know! [PRE-CHORUS — BOTH BUILDING] We made it through what we couldn’t see, Still got that fire burning in me! We’ve got no time to live in fear, We’re still standing — we’re still here! [CHORUS — BIGGER, STRONG FEMALE HARMONIES] HEY! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! Still got a heartbeat, still got a fight! We gave enough, we paid our dues, Now we’ve got nothing left to prove! Let the world keep spinning, let the clock run dry, We’ve got no damn intention of letting this life pass us by! And if tomorrow wants a fight— [FEMALE] LET IT WAIT! [MALE] IT CAN WAIT TILL MORNING! [BOTH] HEY! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! WE’RE STILL HERE — AND WE’RE FEELING ALIVE! [BRIDGE — STRIPPED BACK, EMOTIONAL] [MALE — RAW, HONEST] There were times we didn’t know How we’d make it through another day. [FEMALE — WARM BUT POWERFUL] But look at us now… [MALE] Still breathing. Still laughing. [BOTH — BUILDING INTO THE SOLO] And we’re not throwing this life away! [SHORT, MELODIC 80s ELECTRIC GUITAR SOLO] [FINAL CHORUS — FULL POWER, BOTH VOCALS] HEY! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! Still standing, still ready to fight! We’ve taken every hit life could throw, And there’s a hell of a lot left to go! Let the past stay behind, Let tomorrow stand in line! If it wants to pick a fight— [FEMALE] LET IT WAIT! [MALE] IT CAN WAIT TILL MORNING! [BOTH — BIGGEST HOOK] HEY! TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! [FEMALE] STILL STANDING! [MALE] STILL KICKING! [BOTH] TONIGHT WE’RE ALIVE! [OUTRO — BIG GUITAR RIFF, FULL BAND ENDS HARD]
