lyrics

I’m gonna hit like
George Brett and Frank White
in 1985
Powder Blue
Darling put on your glasses
oh, and read ‘bout Manassas
words smooth as molasses
from Major Ballou

oh oh oh
oh oh
see them lights
fade to blue

Chorus:
And when the world’s got you down
and you’re all alone
you’ve been telling yourself
you ain’t good enough, remember
the darkest shadows come from blinding lights
the biggest hearts come from learning to fight
so don’t let that
setback get you down
no, turn it around

Don’t ever let ‘em turn your heart black
Skywalker in a Vader mask
Coop and Bob sharing a laugh
no, that ain’t no good

‘Cause it don’t matter how far you’re down
I’ll take Balboa in the 15th round
Lasse Viren after falling down
coming on through

oh oh oh
oh oh
see them lights fade to blue

Chorus

Chorus

No those darkest shadows come from blinding lights
the biggest hearts come from learning to fight
so don’t let that
setback get you down
baby, turn it around
