[Intro]
(Yeah)
From the south side of the islands
To the bright stage right now
Seven hearts, one sound
Listen up
[Verse 1]
I was that quiet kid
Notebook full of big plans
Singing over traffic noise
Turning every rumor into slow jams
She grew up by the shoreline
Salt hair, slippers on the sand
Now she’s center of the spotlight
Glow that you can’t misunderstand
Third one flipping her schedules
Working double shifts all week
Still shows up with eyeliner sharp
Fire sitting right in her speech
Fourth girl dancing through problems
Laughing while she hides the tears
But when she steps to the middle
You feel every one of her years
[Pre-Chorus]
We all came from different corners
Same flag in our veins
Turned all of our broken stories
To gold in the frame
[Chorus]
This is us
Seven strong, seven stories in the rush
You can hear our names in every run
From the first note, you know where we’re from
This is us
We don’t fade, we don’t bow, we don’t hush
When the crowd sings along with our trust
Put your hands in the sky, this is us
[Verse 2]
Fifth one built like a leader
Speaks soft but she stands tall
Arm around every shoulder
Prays quiet for us all
Sixth girl loves all the chaos
Jokes loud just to hide doubt
But when the pressure gets heavy
She the one pulling us out
Last one dreamt this in Tagalog
On a thin mattress at dawn
Mama frying rice in the kitchen
While she practiced every song
Seven different colored nails
Seven pairs of worn-out shoes
Seven girls in the hallway mirror
Said tonight we cannot lose
[Pre-Chorus]
We all came from different corners
Same flag in our veins
Turned all of our broken stories
To gold in the frame
[Chorus]
This is us
Seven strong, seven stories in the rush
You can hear our names in every run
From the first note, you know where we’re from
This is us
We don’t fade, we don’t bow, we don’t hush
When the crowd sings along with our trust
Put your hands in the sky, this is us
[Bridge - Rap]
Seven rings on the table, that’s promise
Seven dreams that we carried through the hardest
From the tricycle rides to the airport gates
Now the whole world waiting, they can’t be late
We were eating toyo, counting coins in a jar
Now we’re mapping every city like it’s ours
Got my sisters on my left, on my right side
If we fall, then we rise in the same light
Who said we ain’t built for arenas?
We been training every day, Filipina
We the storm and the calm and the chorus
Every chant that you shout, that’s for us (for us)
[Chorus]
This is us
Seven strong, seven stories in the rush
You can hear our names in every run
From the first note, you know where we’re from
This is us
We don’t fade, we don’t bow, we don’t hush
When the crowd sings along with our trust
Put your hands in the sky, this is us (this is us)
This is us
Seven hearts, one rhythm when we touch
Every scar, every fear, every brush
Turned to power when we sing as one
Put your hands in the sky, this is us (hey!)
