Take Back The Night Lyrics

The Sun went down over the valley hills

Street lights were off and it still felt brighter than day

To us, because, the city was burning

Day and night blended into one

As the moon watches close

To the train wreck we call home

For now, it can't, seem to look away

Shots ring out, day and night

Violence is at an all time high

We've lost control no woman rights, unite

Take back the night, show your light

Turn those tears into rage and fight

Don't hide, inside, rise up

And take back the night, its time

The past, we can't stand behind

If you search, in your soul, we must try…

Take back the night

As I think of the days and the times we have left

I still can't believe how far we've come

And how we've regressed

From then, till now

The future is learning

We live in a world where we're trying to be safe

Where people fight over covering their faces for hope

To live, and survive

Its not a red and blue thing

Crisis rains down, the world can't ignore

Kids are starving across the globe

Twenty six million refugees with no where to go

Take back the night, show your light

Turn those tears into rage and fight

Don't you hide, inside, and rise up

And take back the night, its time

The past, we can't stand behind

If you search, in your soul, we must try…

Take back the night

Darkness cannot drive out darkness

Only light can do that

Hate cannot drive out hate

Only love can do that

We have to go on

We've come to far

We can't turn back now

They're counting on us

We're running out of time

See the lights go dark now

Get off your knees

More than prayer is needed

Oooh

See the lights go dark now

We've come to far

We can't turn back now

They're counting on us
