Chorus:
Moving out in a new way
Moving out in a new way
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna light up the dark of night
Like the brightest day in a whole new way
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
We're gonna tell you the truest word that you ever heard anybody say
Moving out in a new way
Moving out in a new way
We're gonna turn it on
We're gonna bring you the power
We're coming down on the line strong as we can be
