When the lights come on
If you only have one chance
To say what you gotta say

When the lights come on
If you were to die tomorrow
Oh what would you do today


I live my life
I chase my dreams

Oh there's nothing you can say to me
That can .hold me back from my heart
Im'ma ignite when I'm lost in the dark


Ladies and gentlemen
I need your eyes closed

Sealed tight
Don't think of this is rap
This is real life

Just so you can know
Exactly what it feels like
Going where you're going

But it just doesn't feel right

Stuck in a space

Where you can't breathe can't leave
Held against your will
Wishing you had hands free

Just so you can find your way
Escaping from inside the maze
Praying that eventually


Darkness will turn to brighter days
Imagine for a moment

That you couldn't
See the path in front of you
In fact everything above and under you

Do you stand still or do you your best to try and stumble through?
or take a moment to reflect and
Let it humble you


See life ain't just about the cause there's effects
The decision that you make determines what happens next

Hit the switch and you can leave the past behind ya
But trust me when I tell you
It'll blind ya


When the lights come on
If you only have one chance

To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you were to die tomorrow

What would you do today

I live my life

I chase my dreams
Oh there's nothing you can say to me
That can hold me back from my heart

Imm'a ignite when I'm lost in the dark

What sight to be seen

When the light hits you right
When it might be extreme
Throw your shades on and stay strong

No way to block the shine
This type of bright you better all stop in time
Its sorta like a light when it's flashing for a picture

Paparazzi never see it comin' until it hits ya
Unexpectedly eventually you see it change
Things that once were normal to you start feeling strange


You realize the world is kinda upside down
Time to readjust plus we must shine now

People all around wanna know what's goin' on
Last night my life changed
When it came to breaking dawn

All I'm tryin' to do is share how I'm growin'
When I stroll up in the spot you swear that I was glowing
I was never perfect never claimed to be
In due time it'll all be plain to see


When the lights come on
If you only have one chance
To say what you gotta say
When the lights come on
If you were to die tomorrow

What would you do today

I live my life
I chase my dreams
There's nothing you can say to me

That can hold me back from my heart
I'm Gonna ignite when I'm lost in the dark

When the lights come on
