Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young Songtext

I got a dream 'bout an angel

In the Forest Enchanted by the edge of a lake

His body's flowing and the jewel's alive

And the earth below is starting to shake



But I don't see any angels in the city

I don't hear any holy choirs sing

And if I can't get an angel

I can still get a boy

And a boy'll be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel

A boy'll be the next best thing



I got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle

And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs

He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes

And the thunder of a drum in his ears



I got a dream 'bout a boy on a star

Lookin' down upon the rim of the world

He's there all alone and dreamin' of someone like me

I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl



I got a dream when the darkness is over

We'll be lyin' in the rings of the sun

But it's only a dream and tonight is for real

You'll never know what it means

But you'll know how it feels

It's gonna be over (over)

Before you know it's begun (Before you know it's begun)

It's all we really got tonight

Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)

Before you know it it's gone (tonight)

Tonight is what it means to be young

Tonight is what it means to be young





Let the rebels begin

Let the fire be started

We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin

Let the fire be started

We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin ... (Tonight is what it means to be young...)

Let the fire be started ... (Before you know it it's gone...)

We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin ... (Tonight is what it means to be young...)

Let the fire be started ... (Before you know it it's gone...)

We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted



Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come

No matter what it seems

Tonight is what it means to be young

Before you know it it's gone

Tonight is what it means to be young

Before you know it it's gone





I got a dream when the darkness is over

We'll be lyin' in the rings of the sun

But it's only a dream and tonight is for real

You'll never know what it means

But you'll know how it feels

It's gonna be over (over)

Before you know it's begun (Before you know it's begun)

It's all we really got tonight

Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)

Before you know it it's gone (tonight)

Tonight is what it means to be young

Tonight is what it means to be young



Let the rebels begin

Let the fire be started

We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin

Let the fire be started

We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin ... (Tonight is what it means to be young...)

Let the fire be started ... (Before you know it it's gone...)

We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted

Let the rebels begin ... (Tonight is what it means to be young...)

Let the fire be started ... (Before you know it it's gone...)

We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted



Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come

'Cause no matter what it seems

Tonight is what it means to be young



No matter what it seems

Tonight is what it means to be young



The things they say

And then the things they do

Nothin's gonna stop us if our aim is true...



(fade to end)
