Newsboys Light`s Out Lyrics

Light`s Out Lyrics



last one turns the lights out, and makes sure every curtain's drawn 

nails the shutters shut, he's sure 

we are not of this world for long 

who do you think you are? 

did you figure out the date? 

what do you hope to do 

while you sit around and wait, wait, wait? 

last one turns the lights out, and disconnects the answer-phone 

stuffs all sense of mission, says 

"I just can't turn the tide alone" 

who do you think you are? 

did you figure out the time? 

what do you hope to do 

while you hide out and whine, whine, whine... 



Chorus 

DON'T GO SHUTTIN' DOWN 

'TIL THE TRUMPET SOUNDS 

AND THE BATTLE IS WON 

DON'T GO PUNCHIN' OUT 

'TIL THE FINAL SHOUT 

AND THE FATHER SAYS, "WELL DONE" 



last one turns the light out, and just keeps playing dumb 

these were his instructions, he's not sure where he got 'em from 

why do you wanna hide in a separate class? 

why do you buy the lie 

of a faith under glass, glass, glass... 



- Chorus -



last one turns the lights out, and climbs up to the top of the roof 

he's sitting there 'til the Second Coming 

says he's got the mathematical proof 

who do you think you are? 

did you figure out the date? 

what do you hope to do 

while you sit around and wait, wait, wait... 



- Chorus -
