Lyrics:

Love is on the rise, life is gonna get better soon.
Hanging off of the ride, we just might reach the moon.

We’re saying love life, it can be alright, we’re saying love life, it can be tonight

Love life!
We all say that the paradise is inside of you! x3

Everybody wake up to the sound of the burning heart,
Don’t let invisible chains say whether your free or not

We’re saying love life, it can be alright, we’re saying love life, it can be tonight

Love life!
We all say that the paradise is inside of you! x3

Turn on your lights and it will be all right
WHOA x4
We all say that the paradise is inside of you! x2
(Love Life)
