lyrics
There's an old upright arcade machine, it's never been beaten,
And it's calling me; yeah it's drawing me.
Somewhere out there in the distance we all have a purpose,
Reaching out to you, something you were born to do.
Like the Last Starfighter, we'll burn out brighter,
Like the boy who could fly, yeah you'll never know if you never try.
There is a fire in your heart that's always raging,
There is a hope in your eyes that keeps on dreaming,
No matter what, no matter how, don't let them beat you down,
'Cause tonight, we're Explorers.
I looked fate in the eyes and gave my answer,
Honesty and truth, and little romance for nostalgia.
Destiny can be cruel, but we don't fear it,
Without any future, there'd be nothing to believe in.
Like the Last Starfighter, we'll hold on tighter,
Like the boy who could fly, yeah you'll never know if you never try.
When there's a fire in your heart that's always raging,
When there's a hope in your eyes that keeps on dreaming,
No matter what, no matter how, don't let them beat you down,
'Cause tonight, we're Explorers.
When there's a fire in your heart that's always raging,
When there's a hope in your eyes, keep on dreaming,
No matter what, no matter how, don't let them beat you down,
'Cause tonight, we're Explorers.
When there's a fire in your heart that's always raging,
When there's a hope in your eyes that keeps on dreaming,
No matter what, no matter how, don't let them beat you down,
'Cause tonight, we're Explorers,
'Cause tonight, we're Explorers.
