Alive Tonight

We're not standing on the corner with a cup held out.
In our minds, in our hearts well, there is no doubt.
Sometimes a little danger is good for the soul.
There's a fine line between seeing and knowing
We're hanging on the line of precarious motion.

Turn it on, plug it in, crank it up
And then again, 1,2,3,4, now we're ready to begin.

When the stars align,
Rock and roll is alive.
This is our time
Rock and roll is alive tonight.

Gold and silver melted into our hands.
We ain't working no lemonade stand.
Tell me now why the ordinary
Makes you feel so good.
Well nobody brought us into this life
So we could cry about the changes that we denied.

Turn it on, plug it in, crank it up
And then again, 1,2,3,4, now we're ready to begin.

When the stars align,
Rock and roll is alive.
This is our time
Rock and roll is alive tonight.

When the stars align and the sounds combine
A voice is heard saying all the right words.
A crowd is near, suddenly it's clear.
Bittersweet goodbye, then you learn to fly.
