(Verse 1)
We started out with nothing but a basement dream,
Hand-me-down hope and a busted machine.
Everybody laughed, said, “You’ll burn out soon,”
Now we’re lighting up the dark like a neon moon.
Years of “almost,” nights of “not yet,”
We wrote our names in unpaid debt.
But every crash just sharpened the spark,
We’re architects of light in a world gone dark.
(Pre-Chorus)
All the wrong turns turned into maps,
Every dead end pushed us back.
But I swear we found our place in the noise,
Yeah, we built our voice.
(Chorus)
We’ve been building this new world from broken sound,
From the echoes of the fall, we turned it around.
Every “no” we heard, yeah, we laid in the ground,
Now we’re standing on the beat where our hearts are found.
It took a thousand nights, a million tries,
But we made it through the lows to touch the skies.
We’ve been working all our lives,
To build a new world tonight.
(Verse 2)
We turned old pain into power chords,
Traded our doubt for future rewards.
Got kicked down just to bounce back higher,
Made every “you can’t” our amplifier.
Now the city hums in harmony,
With the sound of what we’re meant to be.
We ain’t chasing crowns or fame,
We’re rewriting the rules, not playing the game.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every bruise became a verse,
Every loss just made it worse—
Until worse became the best part of the song,
Yeah, we’ve been right all along.
(Chorus)
We’ve been building this new world from broken sound,
From the echoes of the fall, we turned it around.
Every “no” we heard, yeah, we laid in the ground,
Now we’re standing on the beat where our hearts are found.
It took a thousand nights, a million tries,
But we made it through the lows to touch the skies.
We’ve been working all our lives,
To build a new world tonight.
(Bridge)
Oh, they said “grow up,” we said “glow up,”
They said “slow down,” we said “so what?”
We’ve been patient, we’ve been wild,
Grew the future from the child.
This is years of caffeine and doubt,
Of almost giving up, but we figured it out.
Now every scar’s a spark in the fuse,
And this new world? Yeah — we choose.
(Final Chorus)
We’ve been building this new world from broken sound,
Every tear, every cheer, it’s sacred ground.
All the times we fell, we were climbing somehow,
Now we’re kings of the climb, take a final bow.
It took a thousand nights, a million tries,
But we made it through the lows to touch the skies.
We’ve been working all our lives,
To build a new world tonight.
