They've had chances to make this big city seem so small,
under stage lights, in rooms packed from window to wall,
like the sound of a smile, or the distance of a song,
only measured in time as the kids sing along.

They are
the ones who make a difference,
get these people on their feet.
They say let us be heard.
Hear us out.

Can you hear the crowd is calling,
"Hey, sing louder now,"
You've got to show them what it means to be alive.
Dancing through the night has never been so rock n' roll,
you've got a good thing and it's time to let them know.

Win their hearts with words unlike the pages left at home,
secrets kept from critics no one ever wants to know.

Can you hear the crowd is calling,
"Hey, sing louder now,"
You've got to show them what it means to be alive.
Dancing through the night has never been so rock n' roll,
you've got a good thing and it's time to let them know.

Sing louder now.
Let's dance the night away.
