This is why, this is why

Coming up slowly, oh, sun over the hill
Daylight’s still a long time coming
But I know it will
Come on lovers, come on haters
Tonight we raise the fire
Cause when the people get to dancing
They forget about taking sides

This is why, this is why
This is why, this is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right,
Sing!

We’re different colors, yeah
We carry each other, yeah
We’re just different colors
This is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

We keep cranking the music up
Driving through our towns
They don’t want to hear
They want us to turn it down
Come on lovers, come on haters
Tonight we raise the fire
Cause when the people get to dancing
They forget about taking sides

Different colors, yeah
We carry each other, yeah
We’re just different colors
This is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

(Oh, oh)

This is why, this is why
This is why, this is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right,
Sing!

We’re different colors, yeah
We carry each other, yeah
We’re just different colors
This is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

This is why
Come on lovers, come on haters
This is why
Come on lovers, come on haters, yeah
We’re just different colors
This is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

(Yeah)

This is why, this is why
Come on lovers, come on haters
This is why we’re biting the bullet
We know the kids are right

Different colors
