[Intro – 10s, quiet press room, cameras click] President (spoken, steady): My fellow citizens… Tonight, we turn the page. ⸻ [Verse 1 – President | 35s] I’ve seen a nation hold its breath in fear, Watched shadows grow when hope disappeared, We trusted order built on silence and pain, Learned too late what it cost to remain. But history bends when courage stands, Not in speeches— But in human hands. Two figures moved when the night felt long, Not for power— But to right a wrong. This city shook, but it did not break, Because belief is a choice we make. ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – President | 12s] We don’t need saviors carved in stone, We need people willing to stand alone— Then stand together. ⸻ [Chorus – President | 25s] So let the record show, let the future hear, Fear doesn’t rule us here, We rise not fast, but we rise as one, The work’s not over—it’s just begun. No victory laps, no borrowed pride, Just steady steps into the light, If tomorrow’s tested by the dark— We will answer. ⸻ [Transition – beat shift, training sounds | 8s] (Gym echoes, breath, energy hum) ⸻ [Verse 2 – Hero | 25s] Speeches don’t stop what’s coming next, Preparation does—that’s the test, Power’s loud when it first arrives, Discipline keeps people alive, Breathe in, ground yourself, feel the floor, Strength is control—nothing more, You’re not alone in this fight now, kid. Let’s build you right. Isaiah (spoken): Again. ⸻ [Verse 3 – Isaiah | 25s] Every rep I feel it lock in place, Not rage—focus—set my pace, I hear the city when I close my eyes, Not asking for gods—just allies, I don’t want legends, I want change, Slow-built hope that actually stays, If power chose me, here’s my vow— I’ll earn it. Starting now. ⸻ [Chorus – President (over montage) | 25s] Train with purpose, stand with care, The weight you carry—learn to bear, Not for flags, not for fame, But for every ordinary name. We don’t crown heroes, we clear the way, So the brave can work, day by day, This is how a future starts— Quietly. Correctly. ⸻ [Bridge – quick exchanges | 15s] Hero: Control it—don’t chase it. Isaiah: I feel it—steady. Hero: Good. Again. Isaiah: Again. ⸻ [Outro – President (soft resolve) | 15s] This nation isn’t saved by one night, Or one power, or one fight. But tonight… We remembered who we are. Train them well. We’ll be ready.
