[Verse 1 - Ingo]

Shut your eyes now

The world looks better with the lights out

This is our time now

To create and invent

[Verse 1 - Frank]

We can be giants now

So let's wait for the blackout

This is our time now

To believe and pretend

[Chorus]

Who's to hold up the sky if not you and I?

So long, so long, so long

Who's to tame the volcanoes on mountains high?

So long, so long, so long, so long

[Verse 2]

Put the knife down

Don't you cut your own heart out

I need you alive now

Learn to hold your own hand

Come to life now

Let's leave before sundown

This is our time now

Put an end to an end

[Chorus]

Who's to hold up the sky if not you and I?

So long, so long, so long

Who's to tame the volcanoes on mountains high?

So long, so long, so long

Just how long does it take to drink oceans dry?

So long, so long, so long

And every storm has got its own eye

So long, so long, so long, so long

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on

[Chorus]

Who's to hold up the sky if not you and I?

So long, so long, so long

Who's to tame the volcanoes on mountains high?

So long, so long, so long

Just how long does it take to drink oceans dry?

So long, so long, so long

And someday we'll say goodbye to goodbye

So long, so long, so long, sail on

Hold on, hold on

So long, so long, so long

Hold on, hold on

So long, so long, so long

Hold on, hold on

Hold on, hold on
