Check in time maybe nine pm Another lonely hotel room Maybe an hour you can call your own But the call comes way too soon
Rise from the shadows to the blinding light And a crowd that screams for more Wake in the morning to another flight On another distant shore
Stand up and lift your hands on high Raise the roof don’t mean no lullaby Stand up and make this night your own When the curtain makes to fall And the morning light must call The daybreak takes it all
Walk out to a thunderstorm And a thousand midnight stars Nobody leaves until these walls come down Till every soul out there is ours
