 (slide up from  to )
 When the boys light up, light up
 When the boys light up, light up
 When the boys light up, light up
 
 Back and forth like a daytime drama
 Up and down like a yo-yo mama
 Say there's gonna be days like this
 Cause light  and dark don't coexist
 How ya gonna see through this fog
 How ya gonna get back on course
 Ya ain't never gonna feel the force
 If ya don't connect to a power source
 
 Cause ya been swapping out day for night
 But ya  see a lamp light burning bright
 If ya  get your flip-flops off the porch
 We're passing  you the torch
 When the boys light up, ya know
Who  gets the praise who owns  the show
 When the boys light up, it's on
We  ain't stopping till  we're done
 We ain't nothing but the conduits
He's  got the power, He'll flip  the switch
Leaving  the dark behind
 Light up and let it shine
 When the boys light up, light up
 When the boys light up, light up
 I was feeling all overcome
 Had a faith gone dim and then some
 Gotta call from a band of brothers
 Turn the mic on, flash the Nikons
 All the doubters, I heard them say,
 Now the band's gonna fade away
 But the boys are back for a second act
 No excuses, we're lighting fuses
 You're in the dawn of your finest hour
 So get wired to the highest power
 If you're down pick any sight
 Get ready to ignite
 When we walk in His footsteps
 It's a brighter  day
 When we follow His word
 He lights the way
 When we lift up His banner
 And raise it high
 We light up the sky
 When the boys light up, light up
 When the boys light up, light up
