LYRICS:
I’m coming to take you home
Back to this land of ours
I don’t know why you wanted to go
Far from this land of ours
I may be wrong but all I know’s
You’ll miss this land of ours
Yeah, I’m coming to take you home
Back to this land of ours

What can I do to change your mind
Back to this land of ours?
Where those fire pits light the skyline
Here in this land of ours
Where in the shacks we live like kings
Yeah in this home of ours
Where our voices shake these rooftops
Because this land is ours!

Where fire pits light the skyline
Because this land is ours!
Where in shacks we live like kings
Because this land is ours!
Where our voices shake these rooftops
Because this land is ours!
Shining lighters that can beat the stars
Because this land is ours!

Oh why did you wanna go
Far from this land of ours
A new number, new name, new life
Far from this land of ours
What can I do to change your mind
About this land of ours
I know one day you’ll wanna come home
Back to this land of ours

I’m coming to take you home
Back to this land of ours
Where the highways cannot find us
Over in this land of ours
Where the mountains keep us secret
Here in this land of ours
Far away from the neon and stone
Oh why did you have to go

I’m wondering
Fill me in
Cause on a whim
Seems as if you woke up and packed your bags
I don’t get why
Please clarify
Oh, was it I who did you wrong and put you on the brink?
Of misery
Insanity
I didn’t mean
All I wanted was you and all of you
But still I’m guessing
Are you’re testing?
If so I’ve learned my lesson
Come back to this land of ours

I’m coming to take you home
(Back to this land of ours)
Where those fire pits light the skyline
(Here in this land of ours)
Where in the shacks we live like kings
(Yeah in this home of ours)
Where fireflies paint the heavens
(Here in this land of ours)
Far from the neon and stone
(Back to this land of ours)
Where the highways cannot reach us
(Over in this land of ours)
Where the mountains keep us secret
(Yeah in this home of ours)
We need your voice to shake these rooftops
Yeah let your voice help shake these rooftops

Let’s go!

Where fire pits light the skyline
Because this land is ours!
Where in shacks we live like kings
Because this land is ours!
Where our voices shake these rooftops
Because this land is ours!
Shining lighters that can beat the stars
Because this land is ours!

LYRICS:
We are warriors We are fighters
Try to drown us
But we’re still getting higher
No we don’t sweat bullets we give ‘em 
Gonna get back on this horse when we’re finished

Try and chew us up Try and spit us out
But you’ll never come close
You’ll be eating rocks
Cause we only sing anthems we’ve written
And tonight this is our new beginning

Turn up the black light
Bass pumping all night
Time to ignite it’s time to take it all
We’re not the Lonely Hearts
We are the Warriors
This is our fight yeah we’re taking back control
We’re taking back the night, ah ah ah
We’re taking back the night, ah ah ah

We are unbreakable We are survivors
And we’re not moving
As the flames get higher
No we don’t sweat bullets we give ‘em 
Gonna get back on this horse when we’re finished

Hear our battle cry Hear our thunder
Won’t be no white flags
You won’t take us under
Cause we only sing anthems we’ve written
And tonight this will be our new beginning

East coast whiskey dreams
Can you feel it
Rooftop galaxies
Breathe it in yeah
Wide heart vacancies
Can you feel it
Choir hymns of screams
Let it in yeah
Brimming energies
Can you feel it
Breaking at the seams
Can you feel it
Transcontinent teams
Can you feel it
Take by any means

LYRICS:
It’s how we do
Stomping feet to make our own beat
It’s how we do
Hips that swing, we’re doing our thing 
It’s how we do
A brand all ours, a style with powers
It’s how we do

It’s how we do
Breaking away and getting insane
It’s how we do 
Owning the day and running the night
It’s how we do
Start with the street and end with the world
It’s how we do

Hit it!
Playing for keeps
We take to the streets
And dance
It’s how we do
Running this city
Everybody with me now
It’s how we do
Can I get “yeah”
Let me hear a “yeah”
Everybody “yeah”
It’s how we do
All the girls and the boys
C’mon let’s make some noise
It’s how we do

It’s how we do
Pumping these speakers, dancing in sneakers
It’s how we do
Lighting on fire, taking us higher
It’s how we do
Opening ears and letting out fears
It’s we do

It’s how we do
Making the planet dance with the Sun
It’s how we do
Tearing down walls and letting in love
It’s how we do Start with one voice and end with a choir
It’s how we do




Yeah can you feel it? The bass and the rhythm of these streets
The beat in our hearts, all of ours, we’re dancing under the same stars
Galactic spotlights and we’re the stage
Each race and face we all live in the same place   
We’re all part of the show, even though, we think we’re from different worlds, 
But you know, there’s only one rock. And we need to rock it!
C’mon, let this green dog show ya how. Yeah!
Stomp your feet, feel the beat. Everyone to the streets!  

Playing for keeps
We take to the streets
And dance
It’s how we do
Running this city
Everybody with me now
It’s how we do
Can I get “yeah”
Let me hear a “yeah”
Everybody “yeah”
It’s how we do
All the girls and the boys
C’mon let’s make some noise
It’s how we do

Dreams that won’t sleep
Songs that run deep
To skies above
Crying out for love

Souls intertwined
Dancing in time
One world, one song
There all along

Old lands, new sounds
In tandem now
Many paths, one street
Different hearts, one beat

Thundering screams
In synchrony
These feet, our hands
One voice, our band

It’s how we do
Singing this song and turning love on
It’s how do
Making our hearts beat in synchrony
It’s how we do
Taking the lights and sounds from all around
And making a song of Love! Take to the streets!
Playing for keeps
We take to the streets
And dance
It’s how we do
Running this city
Everybody with me now
It’s how we do
Can I get “yeah”
Let me hear a “yeah”
Everybody “yeah”
It’s how we do
All the girls and the boys
C’mon let’s make some noise
It’s how we do

Playing for keeps
We take to the streets
And dance
It’s how we do
Running this city
Everybody with me now
It’s how we do
Can I get “yeah”
Let me hear a “yeah”
Everybody “yeah”
It’s how we do

All the girls and the boys
C’mon let out your voice
All the girls and the boys
Let’s make love our choice
All the girls and the boys
C’mon let’s make some noise
It’s how we do
It’s how we do

LYRICS:
Stand back
I'm breaking loose, gonna make a run for the hills
Stand back
Coming in fast, and you won't know what gave ya chills
Get back
Claws are all out and they're ready for the kill
It’s time
The night’s on, moon’s up
And the world’s unravelling
Now do you hear the call?
There's a power deep down below
And we're letting it take control
We're gonna unleash it all
'Cause when your heart starts racing
A force breaks from within
It is

It’s the instinct!
Feel that drum beat stomp in your shoes
Yeah 'cause this is the instinct
Feel that break dance work through your moves
Yeah 'cause this is the instinct
Feel the moonlight commandeer you 
Show me what that is
Let me hear you roar
*ROAR*
Yeah roar
*ROAR*
Now you're
*YOU'RE*
Giving into the instinct

I'm back
New and improved, from the fire burning in my soul
I’m back
And accurate, when I take aim you’re gonna know
It’s that
Time of the night you can go hard or you’ll go home
Let’s go
Night’s on, moon’s up
And it’s all ours, grab it,
Now let me hear that call!
‘Cause the clock’s run out of time
And there’s nothing beyond the night
Yeah we're not gonna fall
'Cause when your heart starts racing
A force commands you with
It’s the instinct!

Feel that drum beat stomp in your shoes
Yeah 'cause this is the instinct
Feel that break dance work through your moves
Yeah 'cause this is the instinct
Feel the moonlight commandeer you
Show me what that is
Let me hear you roar
*ROAR*
Yeah roar
*ROAR*
Now roar!
*ROAR*
Now give in!

I don’t know if it’s delusion from that bright side of the moon
Or an instinctual darkness trying to take me under too
All I’m asking’s that you never fight the animal in you
'Cause there’s a beast inside that’s far long overdue
It’s the instinct!
