Lyrics
[Start]
[instrumental intro]
[Musical flourish]
[Verse]
The switch inside us
That off and on small lever
Where we choose to love
Or to disbelieve
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Most people don't see.
[Chorus]
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Switch on off the light switch, yeah (oh yeah)
Switch on off the light switch, yeah (oh yeah)
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
The power is in you (in you, in you, in you, you, you, you)
[Verse]
They ignore the switch
Thinking it's not inside them
Thinking its out there
In the world at large;
That the switch is in the pain
The hardness, the fear,
In life's cruelties.
However, that is a lie
Told to us by fear
Fear, that hidden man
Who hides behind the curtain
Projecting a show
A show of power
Beyond all comparison
Beyond all refute
[Break]
The man behind the curtain
Don’t look at the man found there
Stop looking. See no one.
The one pulling the strings
The man behind the curtain
Stop. Stop looking. Stop!
[Instrument solo]
[Chorus]
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Switch on off the light switch, yeah (oh yeah)
Switch on off the light switch, yeah (oh yeah)
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
The power is in you (in you, in you, in you, you, you, you)
[Verse]
But fear is a lie
Whereas love is what is real
Love, faith, and belief
Only love builds things
Sees what must be and is true
To that inner light -
The on switch in us,
Which reveals our destiny
Till we switch it off
We. Not the world. We.
Only we can switch it off
Or switch it back on
[Chorus]
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Switch on off the light switch, yeah (oh yeah)
Switch on off the light switch, yeah (oh yeah)
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
Flip on. Flip off. Flip on off.
The power is in you (in you, in you, in you, you, you, you)
[Verse]
We. Not the world. We.
Only we can switch it off
Or switch it back on
We. Not the world. We.
Only we can switch it off
Or switch it back on
[Musical outro]
[Fade out]
[End]
