Lyrics When The Boys Light Up - Newsboys

When The Boys Light Up

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
Back and forth like a daytime drama
Up and down like a yo-yo mama
Say there’s gonna be days like this
'Cause light and dark don’t coexist
How you gonna see through this fog?
How you gonna get back on course?
You ain’t never gonna feel the force
If you don’t connect to a power source
'Cause you been swapping out day for night
But you see a lamp light burning bright
If you get your flip-flops off the porch
We’re passing you the torch
When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it’s on
We ain’t stopping till we’re done
We ain’t nothing but the conduits
He’s got the power, He’ll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
I was feeling all overcome
Had a faith gone dim and then some
Gotta call from a band of brothers
Turn the mic on, flash the Nikons
All the doubters, I heard 'em say
Now the band’s gonna fade away
But the boys are back for a second act
No excuses, we’re lighting fuses
You’re in the dawn of your finest hour
So get wired to the highest power
If you’re down pick any sight
Get ready to ignite
When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it’s on
We ain’t stopping till we’re done
If we ain’t nothing but the conduits
He’s got the power, He’ll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine
When we walk in His footsteps
It’s a brighter day
When we follow His word
He lights the way
When we lift up His banner and raise it high
We light up the sky
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it’s on
We ain’t stopping 'till we’re done
We ain’t nothing but the conduits
He’s got the power, He’ll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it’s on
We ain’t stopping 'till we’re done
We ain’t nothing but the conduits
He’s got the power, He’ll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine
