[Verse 1]
Morning on the harbor
Clean flags in the air
Boots on the old stone
Everyone is there
Children in their Sunday best
Red, white, blue in line
We carry our names
Like a hand-me-down shine
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the streets waking
Hear the hearts align
All that we’ve built here
Rising on the line
[Chorus]
May seventeenth, we stand tall
May seventeenth, hear us call
Hand on heart, we belong
Bright and proud, marching on
May seventeenth, we rise
Under these northern skies
May seventeenth, we sing
This is ours, this is everything
[Verse 2]
Coffee in the square
Bells from the hill
Grandmother smiles
And the whole room stills
From the fjord to the flagpole
From the door to the square
Every step says
We were always here
[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the old words
Meet the brand-new sound
Generations lifting
What they built from ground
[Chorus]
May seventeenth, we stand tall
May seventeenth, hear us call
Hand on heart, we belong
Bright and proud, marching on
May seventeenth, we rise
Under these northern skies
May seventeenth, we sing
This is ours, this is everything
[Bridge]
Let the brass bloom out
Let the children lead
We are more than memory
We are what we keep
From the first bright banner
To the last warm light
We are calm and fearless
We are made tonight
[Final Chorus]
May seventeenth, we stand tall
May seventeenth, hear us call
Hand on heart, we belong
Bright and proud, marching on
May seventeenth, we rise
Under these northern skies
May seventeenth, we sing
This is ours, this is everything
