Lyrics

Courage (The Hexadecimal Mix)

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

(This is it!)

Boom!

I been beating my head against the rubber wall

I've been jumping on a ladder, tryin' to make it fall

(Boom!) We're diving on the cliff from the highest rocks

Living underground in a wooden box

Riding and changes

And the world rearranges

This is sink or swim

Sure as hell, no one stays, I'm in

Riding and changes

And my life rearranges first

Always the same surrender

Always left with the tender heart

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

We're in this strong beat

Getting a rest through the night

The streets are all empty

People are running

Shouting people is coming

Don't see no big bull at all

Ooh

Get the bull by the horns

Listen to the rumble from beneath the ground (boom!)

I'm trying to get to sleep but there's that angry sound

(Boom!) All the stamping and the kicking, don't know what I'm gonna do

Have them made to maybe face the popping out

Popping out. Popping out. Popping out (boom!)

Riding and changes

And the world rearranges fast

This is sink or swim

Sure as hell, know what state I'm in

Riding and changes

And my mind re-arranges first

Always the same surrender

Always left with the tender heart

This is making me nervous

Got to admit it

Its out in the open

I stand so committed

But there ain't no escaping it

Here it comes, this is it

This is it

This is it (boom!)

This is it

Is it

Is it

Popping out

(Boom!) Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

(Boom!) Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Popping out

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!
