Lyrics + translation · letras.mus.br

🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Light up, light up
  • As if you have a choice
  • Even if you cannot hear my voice

Echo the hook

  • I can hardly speak I understand
  • Why you can't raise your voice to say
  • To think I might not see those eyes
lightvoicei'll
