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]
