Lyrics

Fading echoes in the midnight sky
Broken dreams are learning how to fly
Every shadow turns into a spark
Guiding us through the dark

Every heartbeat calling out your name
Nothing ever stays the same
With you beside me I can see
What we were meant to be

When the world is falling away
We rise above it all

We’re higher than the stars tonight
Burning brighter in the endless light
Nothing can stop us now
Nothing can bring us down

We’re chasing colors in the sky
Together we were born to fly
Forever shining through the night
Higher than the stars

Through the silence and the endless rain
We found beauty inside the pain
Every moment brings us closer now
There’s no turning around

When the world is fading away
We rise above it all
We’re higher than the stars tonight
Burning brighter in the endless light
Nothing can stop us now
Nothing can bring us down

Close your eyes
Feel the light
We’re alive
Tonight

We’re higher than the stars tonight
Burning brighter in the endless light
Together we’ll never fall
We’re higher than the stars
