When the boys light up, light up

Fm
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

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

When the boys light up, it's on
Ab Bb
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
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
