This Is Ours

Verse 1
Lights come up on a Friday night sky
Crowd breathin’ like a single sound
From back roads wide to city lines
Every kind of soul’s here now
Hard-earned days, long-shot dreams
Every loss we survived to win
Different stories, same heartbeat
When that first chord kicks in

Pre-Chorus (Build)
Take a breath—hear it rise
Feel that thunder in the stands tonight

⸻

CHORUS (BIG / CHANTABLE)

This is ours—HEY!
This is ours—HEY!
From the ground we stand on to the stars
We don’t fold, we don’t fade in the dark
Hands up high—sing it loud
Let it shake these walls right now
Red, white, blue—through the scars
This is ours

⸻

Verse 2
Names etched deep in steel and stone
Echo louder every year
Freedom rings in a thousand tongues
But the meaning’s crystal clear
It’s the right to stand, the right to say
The right to kneel or pray or fight
It’s a flag in the wind and a fire inside
That don’t burn out overnight

Pre-Chorus (Drop then Rise)
Every voice, every one
When the drums hit—we become

⸻

CHORUS (REPEAT / CROWD LEAD)

This is ours—HEY!
This is ours—HEY!
From the ground we stand on to the stars…

⸻

BRIDGE (STRIP IT BACK → CLAP STOMP)

(Clap—Clap—Stomp)
Freedom!
(Clap—Clap—Stomp)
Stand up!
(Clap—Clap—Stomp)
Sing it like you mean it now

Freedom ain’t a word we borrow
It’s a line we hold together
Pass it on to tomorrow
Now and forever

⸻

FINAL CHORUS (ALL IN / FIREWORK MOMENT)

This is ours—HEY!
This is ours—HEY!
Let it roll like thunder through your heart
From the first breath taken to the last
Hands locked tight, voices raw
Let ‘em hear us down the hall
Red, white, blue—who we are
This is ours
