[Intro (crowd noise → guitar)]
[(crowd chatter, someone yells “let’s go!”)]
Yeah…
If you made it through the week…
This one’s for you
[Verse 1]
Been a long five days, barely made it out
Boss on my back, bills piling up
Same old grind, same old stress
Tryna hold it together, doing my best
But tonight I’m letting all that go
Walking in, yeah I need that smoke
Neon lights hit just right…
Yeah this feels like life
[Pre-Chorus]
If you got something weighing you down…
Leave it right here in this crowd
[Chorus (BIG, chanty)]
Raise ‘em up tonight… (HEY!)
Every drink, every light
If you made it through the fight…
You earned this life
Raise ‘em up right now… (HEY!)
Let ‘em hear you from this town
If you’re breathing, if you’re proud…
Sing it loud
[Verse 2]
Saw a couple dancing by the stage
Laughing like they’re half our age
Didn’t care who’s watching them…
Just living in it
Got my friends yelling every line
Arms around me, beer held high
We don’t need a reason why…
We’re alive tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
If you’ve been holding it in all week…
Let it out, let it speak
[Chorus]
Raise ‘em up tonight… (HEY!)
Every drink, every light
If you made it through the fight…
You earned this life
Raise ‘em up right now… (HEY!)
Let ‘em hear you from this town
If you’re breathing, if you’re proud…
Sing it loud
[Bridge (half-time, emotional → build)]
[(band drops, crowd claps)]
We all got something we don’t show…
We all got battles no one knows…
[(build)]
But right here, right now…
We ain’t alone
[Final Chorus (BIGGEST, full crowd)]
Raise ‘em up tonight… (HEY!)
Every wrong turned into right
If you made it here tonight…
You won the fight
Raise ‘em up right now… (HEY!)
Let ‘em hear it all around
If you’re living, if you’re loud…
Sing it out
[Outro (crowd chant)]
[(crowd chanting)]
Raise ‘em up… raise ‘em up…
