For the band, the band, the band The band to play us off? I said: What are we? What are we, what are we What are we waiting for? For the band, the band, the band The band to play us off? Kick up your feet and let's move forever I'll set the sail if you lift the tether All of the times that we've shared together All of the sounds in all kinds of weather This is the way it should be forever This is the way it could be forever This is the way it should be for
