Inner Glow

I'm like a storm cloud, eager when you go out

Calm again

I'll ask permission for the wrong to win

Drop the bomb and get your story out and get it on

In a haze, the beginning of your days

Gonna fall down

Got to get back up, but at your own pace

Got to fill your cup and find the way out of your own maze

Yeah boy, what you said now

And hide the rule book, throw it in the waste

Look strong

Like you belong 'cause you do belong

Whether right or wrong, you belong

I'm on your side; if you fail, at least you tried

To keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alive

Yeah, and pride don't keep it all inside

Don't keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alone

Write your own song

Whatever happened to our inner glow?

Whatever happened to the song

The soul, the me I used to know?

Whatever happened to my radio?

Whatever happened to my song?

It is my song

So here's a preview, shove it under old-new

Or call it rock or pop or Bach or funk

Goddamn, where did we go wrong?

Now there's a category for every song

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to

Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to

Yeah, we only want to fly by the side

Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

Yeah, we only want a field we can run through

Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to

Yeah, we only want to fly by the side

Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

So stride; if you fail, at least you tried

To keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alive

Yeah, and pride don't keep it all inside

Don't keep your aching, celebrating, wonder-making heart alone

Write your own song

Whatever happened to our inner glow?

Whatever happened to the song

The soul, the me I used to know?

Whatever happened to my radio?

Whatever happened to the song?

Gonna wake up strong, yeah

We're all gonna wake up strong

Gonna wake up strong, yeah

We're all gonna wake up strong

Gonna wake up strong, yeah

We're all gonna wake up strong

Yeah, write your own song

Gonna wake up strong, yeah

We're all gonna wake up strong

Gonna wake up strong, yeah

We're all gonna wake up strong

Gonna wake up strong, yeah

We're writing our own songs

Yeah, we only want to sing when we want to

Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to

Yeah, we only want to fly by the side

Making love to the rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde

Whatever happened to our inner glow?

(Yeah, we only want a beat we can drum to)

Whatever happened to the song

The soul, the me I used to know?

(Yeah, we only want a dream we can flaunt to)

Whatever happened to my radio?

(The rhythm, be a Jekyll and a Hyde)
