Take Back the Night Songtext
von Just Scott

The Sun went down over the valley hills
Street lights were off and it still felt brighter than day
To us, because, the city was burning

Day and night blended into one
As the moon watches close
To the train wreck we call home
For now, it can′t, seem to look away

Shots ring out, day and night
Violence is at an all time high
We've lost control no woman rights, unite

Take back the night, show your light
Turn those tears into rage and fight
Don′t hide, inside, rise up

And take back the night, its time
The past, we can't stand behind
If you search, in your soul, we must try...
Take back the night


As I think of the days and the times we have left
I still can't believe how far we′ve come
And how we′ve regressed
From then, till now
The future is learning

We live in a world where we're trying to be safe
Where people fight over covering their faces for hope
To live, and survive
Its not a red and blue thing

Crisis rains down, the world can′t ignore
Kids are starving across the globe
Twenty six million refugees with no where to go

Take back the night, show your light
Turn those tears into rage and fight
Don't you hide, inside, and rise up

And take back the night, its time
The past, we can′t stand behind
If you search, in your soul, we must try...
Take back the night

Darkness cannot drive out darkness
Only light can do that
Hate cannot drive out hate
Only love can do that


We have to go on
We've come to far
We can′t turn back now
They're counting on us

We're running out of time
See the lights go dark now
Get off your knees
More than prayer is needed

Oooh
See the lights go dark now

We′ve come to far
We can′t turn back now

They're counting on us
