Just before dawn in the cold light
 We came out of the night
 great expectation from the man who ran the show
 Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
 Are there clouds up in the sky 

 We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on 

 See the people, feel the power
 There was sixty thousand there
 Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
 Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
 There was magic in the air 

 We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on 

 See the rainbow shining brightly
 Shooting rockets to the sky
 Making music and it rolled on through the night
 You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
 We were strangers in the night 

 We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on
 And the bands played on
