Lyrics[]
- When I've Opened my Heart,
- And I've Lived and Learned,
- When I'm taking a step in His World.
- When I danced in the shadows,
- When I felt the Sonic Boom,
- When I am who I am with you.
- Racing forward on my mind,
- Crushing 40 all the time,
- It never seems to disappear, oh no!
- Always known, always knowing that you're near.
- Now don't you worry,
- It's a neverending story,
- Stand proud, Let it out!
- Let 'em know, Let it show until they hear!
- Hear the Sonic Youth!
- (It's as easy as you want it to be)
- (It's easy, it's easy)
- Hear the Sonic Youth!
- (It's as easy as you want it to be)
- (It's easy, it's easy)
- We are the Sonic Youth!
- Like a Sonic Hero
- Or a Knight in the Wind
- Now you know What I'm Made Of
- You can Watch Me Fly
- Live Life or die
- Never Turn Back, you and I
- Racing forward on my mind,
- Crushing 40 all the time,
- It never seems to disappear, oh no!
- You can feel when the Sonic Youth is near
- Now don't you worry,
- It's a never ending story,
- Stand proud, Let it out!
- Let 'em know, Let it show until they hear! Until they hear!
- Hear the Sonic Youth!
- (Solo)
- We are the Sonic Youth!
- We are the Sonic Youth!
- We are the Sonic Youth!
- Now you know What I'm Made Of
- Hey!
- Now don't you worry,
- It's a neverending story,
- Stand proud, Let it out!
- Let 'em know, Let it show until they hear! Until they hear!
- Hear the Sonic Youth!
- Me and you!
- Hear the Sonic Youth!
- That's you!
