lyrics

ALIVE TONIGHT
Ola Onabule © 2004

Do you wanna be a friend,
Could you be a friend right to a bitter end.
Bitter end it might turn out to be,
Case of nothing ventured, nothing gained you see.

So if you care for us, this crucial hour,
If you can stand defiant under fire,
Hold your nerve together, what ever you discover,
Whatever comes to be.
You’ll be keeping love alive tonight!
Ooh! Yeah tonight.

I can’t put your mind at ease,
What we’ll be doing here is not designed to please,
I can tell you all you’ll need to know,
But I don’t know what you’ll hear within your soul,

So when you look back on this heavy moment,
Please don’t forget just how I really meant it,
Keep your hearts door open, Primed for the forgiving,
Whatever comes to be,
You’ll be keeping love alive tonight!

The hope you’re about to hope ain’t as sunk as it seems
Just fasten your mind to all the dreams of our dreams
Weigh up the highs and lows, over the back and forth
Till you’ll know, truly know, That you’re simply
Keeping love alive tonight
Oooh! keeping love alive tonight!

Time for me to say what I gotta say
And you gonna do what you gotta do
Bet you’re thinking what is gonna be will be
Just keep our love alive tonight
