Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young Lyrics By Fire Inc

    i’ve got a dream ’bout an angel on the beach
    and the perfect waves are starting to come
    his hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
    and his touch has got the power to stun

    i’ve got a dream ’bout an angel in the forest
    enchanted by the edge of a lake
    his body’s flowing in the jewels alive
    and the earth below is starting to shake

    but i don’t see any angels in the city
    i don’t hear any holy choirs sing
    and if i can’t get an angel
    i can still get a boy
    and a boy’d be the next best thing
    the next best thing to an angel
    a boy’d be the next best thing

    i’ve got a dream ’bout a boy in a castle
    and he’s dancing like a cat on the stairs
    he’s got the fire of a prince in his eyes
    and the thunder of a drum in his ears

    i’ve got a dream ’bout a boy on a star
    lookin’ down upon the rim of the world
    he’s there all alone and dreamin’ of someone like me
    i’m not an angel but at least i’m a girl

    i’ve got a dream when the darkness is over
    we’ll be lyin’ in the rays of the sun
    but it’s only a dream and tonight is for real
    you’ll never know what it means
    but you’ll know how it feels
    it’s gonna be over over
    before you know it’s begun
    before you know it’s begun

    it’s all we really got tonight
    stop your cryin’ hold on tonight
    before you know it it’s gone tonight
    tonight is what it means to be young
    tonight is what it means to be young

    let the revels begin
    let the fire be started
    we’re dancing for the restless and the brokenhearted
    let the revels begin
    let the fire be started
    we’re dancing for the desperate and the brokenhearted
    let the revels begin tonight is what it means to be young
    let the fire be started before you know it it’s gone
    we’re dancing for the restless and the brokenhearted
    let the revels begin
    let the fire be started
    we’re dancing for the desperate and the brokenhearted

    say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
    no matter what it seems
    tonight is what it means to be young
    before you know it it’s gone
    tonight is what it means to be young
    before you know it it’s gone

    ah

    i’ve got a dream when the darkness is over
    we’ll be lyin’ in the rays of the sun
    but it’s only a dream and tonight is for real
    you’ll never know what it means
    but you’ll know how it feels
    it’s gonna be over over
    before you know it’s begun

    it’s all we really got tonight
    stop your cryin’ hold on tonight
    before you know it it’s gone tonight
    tonight is what it means to be young
    tonight is what it means to be young

    the things they say
    and then the things they do
    nothin’s gonna stop us if our aim is true

    the things they say
    and then the things they do
    nothin’s gonna stop us if our aim is true

    the things they say
    and then the things they do
    nothin’s gonna stop us if our aim is true

    tonight is what it means to be young
