I heard the sound I heard the sound in the air that night The same sound gets me through tonight I heard it on my radio I remember back in '84 Still hadn't learned the wicked ways of the world We needed something to fill our hearts Kids on the run, we had to take the charge Well, it could've been anything We could've gone the other way around But some things were just meant to be We had the time, yeah we had the place A mind-blowing revelation We were ready, standing on the station Waiting for the ride that lasts forever [Chorus:] I heard the sound in the air that night I heard it on my radio The same sound gets me through tonight I heard it on my radio We didn't want to compromise We had to make the sound come alive Bought ourselves our first guitars Those were the things that made the stars shine in our eyes Start a revolution Armed and ready to rock the nation Hitching for the ride that lasts forever [Chorus x2] It's in the air tonight It makes me feel alright Tonight I heard if on my radio [Chorus x2]
