[Verse 1]
The world came cracked
In a dented tin sky
Boots on the gravel
Ash in my eye
Every door locked
Every mouth sold out
Kids on the curb
Learning fear from doubt
I saw the river
Black as a bruise
Names in the foam
We were left to lose
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up
Hold on
The ground keeps shaking
Hands up
Hold on
We are not breaking
[Chorus]
Broken world choir
Sing it loud
Broken world choir
Shake that ground
We burn, we bend
We do not bow
Broken world choir
Here and now
[Verse 2]
Church bells bent
Like a knife in a fist
Smoke on the windows
Hard to remember this
Steel in the lungs
Dust on the tongue
We were raised on the ruin
Still we run, still we run
I heard your name
Through the machine noise
Like a chain in the dark
Like a crowd of boys
We got scars
We got fire
We got rage
We got wire
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up
Hold on
The ground keeps shaking
Hands up
Hold on
We are not breaking
[Chorus]
Broken world choir
Sing it loud
Broken world choir
Shake that ground
We burn, we bend
We do not bow
Broken world choir
Here and now
[Bridge]
If the sky falls
Let it fall on me
If the walls cave in
We will still be free
Clench your teeth
Stand your line
One hard breath
One last time
[Final Chorus]
Broken world choir
Sing it loud
Broken world choir
Shake that ground
We burn, we bend
We do not bow
Broken world choir
Here and now
Broken world choir
All survive
Broken world choir
Still alive
We burn, we bend
We do not bow
Broken world choir
Here and now
