[Verse 1]
Passport photo, shaky grin
Tiny flag on my suitcase zip
Mom keeps crying on the phone
Says, "Sing it like you never did"
Big stage buzzing in my chest
Glitter stuck to my heartbeat
All those nights in my old room
Now the world is at my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
They said we’re too small, too quiet
Never gonna make that riot
But look at all these colors in the dark
Every doubt turns into a spark (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is our first time on the map
Hear my people screaming back
From a dot they never see
To the name they can't forget
Hold that trophy to the sky
Feel a million voices rise
We were always more than that
Now the world is singing our flag
[Verse 2]
Green room laughs and shaky hands
Scoreboard climbing, can't look straight
Every twelve feels like a shock
Every four, we hold our breath and wait
Camera finds my crying face
I can taste my hometown streets
Grandma dancing in her chair
Through a thousand living room screens
[Pre-Chorus]
They said we’re too small, too quiet
We would never start a riot
But listen how the silence disappears
All our hopes are echoing here (woah)
[Chorus]
This is our first time on the map
Hear my people screaming back
From a dot they never see
To the name they can't forget
Hold that trophy to the sky
Feel a million voices rise
We were always more than that
Now the world is singing our flag
[Bridge]
I see my schoolyard, faded chalk
I see my friends who said I'd flop
Every "maybe" every "not"
Turned into this golden shot
We’re on the screen in every bar
Every kitchen, every car
I’m just one kid with one big song
But tonight we all belong (hey!)
[Chorus]
This is our first time on the map
Hear my people screaming back
From a dot they never see
To the name they can't forget
Hold that trophy to the sky
Feel a million voices rise
We were always more than that
Now the world is singing our flag
[Chorus]
This is our first time on the map
Hearts in rhythm, heart attacks
From a dream we barely dared
To a moment that we share
Hold that trophy to the sky
Let our colors paint the night
We were always more than that
Now the world is singing our flag
