[Intro: Ellie Goulding]

I had a way then losing it all on my own

I had a heart then but the queen has been overthrown

And I'm not sleeping now, the dark is too hard to beat

And I'm not keeping now the strength I need to push me


[Hook: Ellie Goulding]

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone


[Verse 1: Ivan B]

Yeah, I can hear it now, I can hear them loud

Lights on me for a better sound

Dropped the pursuit now we're heading for the loot

Need a dream to come true, so what now?

Look to the sun but the sun's down

But that doesn't mean the light's out

Made a fire in the heart and there might be a spark

Good luck tryna turn that light down

We the next on your ass, no mystery

Tido V and I authoring history

Write a hit song, yeah that's victory

Why you buying fake fans? That's trickery

When I'm gone don't saying you're missing me

'Cause you took your shots and you missed

Getting better than ever, remember this letter

This light is never gonna dim, damn

Stars are high for a reason

Not many are willing to reach

Looking for the lights beyond the stars

Why you settle for the lights on the streets?

Got my team, now we're heading for the peak

See the lights when I'm flying overseas

Living my life but it feels like a dream

I can see the lights pouring down on me

So here we go now, moving fast never slow down

Keep on dreaming 'til the lights out

This the year that I need now

This the time to strike, this is your life

Better get it right 'cause you don't get it twice

These are the moments your remember at night

So open your eyes and find your own light


[Hook: Ellie Goulding]

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone


[Verse 2: Ivan B]

Yeah, It's not about the hard life

But the hard work you put in from it

Dedication really pays off

See the rays coming down from the sunbeams

So you either breathe it, or you bleed it

Do you want it, or do you need it

Do you wish it, or do you see it

Is it a passion, do you feel it

This is my mind, body and soul

'Cause it's really all that I know

And I can't sit behind a desk, say I did my best

Not the story I want told

Said I was the worst rapper alive

Now they ask when I perform live

And a stage with beautiful lights

Or beautiful moment that I see insight

So you can tell me how it's supposed to be

Then I'll tell you how it is

'Cause a nine to five isn't a life

And being alive doesn't mean that you really live

Picked up a pen and a pad

Now I'm illustrating all that I have

Got my eyes up past the sky

Beyond the stars is where I'm at

So here we go, living the moment

Then watching it go

'Cause every second has gotta be gold

And every record has gotta be cold

'Cause in the end everybody gets old

This is your life, better get it right

'Cause you don't get it twice

Open your eyes and find your own light

The meaning of life is a meaningful life


[Hook: Ellie Goulding]

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone

And so I tell myself that I'll be strong

And dreaming when they're gone

'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home

Calling, calling, calling home

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone

You shine it when I'm alone
