Chorus:
        F#m      A    E    C#m   D
No red light or dark night can stop me
   F#m              A   E   C#m   D
No wall, no matter how tall can block me

          F#m                 A
Well, the sun is out and the family's good
           E/G#                       E                D
And we're living life like we always knew we could, it's lovely
         F#m                      A
I took a little time out just to meditate
         E/G#                E                  D
And my spirit said, "Why you always late?" I'm sorry

I've got a need for speed and a head for dreams
But I had to slow down, see the wood for trees, breathe easy, yeah
But now my energy's on one hundred ten
And I'm never gonna let them bring me down again, believe me

Chorus

If you're feeling low, know you'll rise again
Got knocked down nine times, but get up for ten, you got this
(You got this)
And though it seems like the night won't end
The morning's right around the river bend, I promise

Chorus:
No red light or dark night can stop me
No wall, no matter how tall can block me
No red light or dark night can stop we, no, no
No wall, no matter how tall can block we, no, no, no way

                      F#m
Oh, look at what I've found now
A                E/G#
It's a brand new feeling
E                  D
Feet lift off the ground, breaking through the ceiling
                  F#m
Look at what I've found now
A                E/G#
This a brand new feeling
E           D
Only way is up, now, only way is up, now

We been getting higher
We all learn to fly, yeah
Feet lift off the ground
Breaking through the ceiling
Oh, look what I've found
This a brand new feeling
We've been learning to fly
No, no

Chorus:
No red light or dark night can stop we, no, no
No wall, no matter how tall can block we, no, no
No red light or dark night can stop we, no, no
No wall, no matter how tall can block we, no, no
No red light or dark night can stop we, no, no
No wall, no matter how tall can block we, no, no
