1978 Lyrics by Atomic Tom

ERA

2014

They say you're a dreamer
You've gotta move on
Forget about closure
We're the ones who've gotta be strong
Forget all your secrets
You can't keep them all
You won't live forever
If you never live life at all

Don't look back
Just head for the sun when the curtains fall
We're setting the stage for the final run
The tables are turned dark before the dawn
We leave them behind when the lights turn on
Can you hear me?
Are you ready?
We're giving our best to you
Can't you see me?
I'm more than ready
We're leaving the rest to you

Remember the silence
Remember the day
They burned all the lights out
And they came to take us away
So sing it out loud now
Crash open these doors
We're here and we're better
You're the ones that we're fighting for

Don't look back
Just head for the sun when the curtains fall
We're setting the stage for the final run
The tables are turned dark before the dawn
We leave them behind when the lights turn on
Can you hear me?
Are you ready?
We're giving our best to you
Can't you see me?
I'm more than ready
We're leaving the rest to you

Don't look back
Just head for the sun when the curtains fall
We're setting the stage for the final run
The tables are turned dark before the dawn
We leave them behind when the lights turn on
Can you hear me?
Are you ready?
We're giving our best to you
Can't you see me?
I'm more than ready
We're leaving the rest to you

Can you hear me?
Are you ready?
We're giving our best to you
Can't you see me?
I'm more than ready
We're leaving the rest to you
