Lyrics

(Electric)

In the dark when you feel lost
Wanna be the best but at what cost
If you're gonna stay here
Nothing's ever changing, no
Big world gotta see it all
Gotta get up even when you fall
There's no point in waiting, no

Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down

Ohhhh
But you've got the power now
I know you feel it, feel it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Oh I can see it, see it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric

Long road got a ways to go
Took a big step but you're not alone
Cause we got each other
There's so much you'll discover
Headstrong but your heart is stronger
Stay calm walking through the fire
I know you're gonna make it out

Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhhh
But you've got the power now

I know you feel it, feel it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Oh I can see it, see it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric

Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhh
You're electric right now (Electric)

Ohhh
But you've got the power now
You've got the power now

(Electric)
You've got the power now

Wooow yeah

I know you feel it, feel it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric
Oh I can see it, see it
If you believe it then you can
There's no reason that this life can't be electric

Ohhh
They'll try to bring you down
Ohhh
You're electric right now (Electric)
Ohh
But, you've got the power now
Ohhh
You've got the power now
You've got the power now
