(Intro – spoken)
Before the sun comes up…
Before the world wakes up…
There’s a crew of men already getting after it.
This one’s for the warriors.
⸻
(Verse 1)
Alarm clock ringing, boots hit the floor
Another long day like a hundred before
Truck lights glowing in the morning haze
Ready to grind through another day
Got dirt on our hands, sweat on our backs
No shortcuts here, we stay on track
The world keeps spinning because working men do
And brother, we ain’t got nothing to prove
⸻
(Pre-Chorus)
When the heat bears down and the hours get long
We keep moving forward, we keep holding on
⸻
(Chorus)
We’re Wilmington Warriors, built for the fight
First ones up and the last ones out at night
Blue-collar hearts and a fire inside
No matter what comes, we take it in stride
From sunrise to sunset, we’re giving it all
Warriors stand, warriors don’t fall
And if we do…
We get back up again
⸻
(Verse 2)
Some got families waiting back home
Some are carrying burdens nobody knows
But side by side, shoulder to shoulder
The load gets lighter when the brotherhood grows stronger
Rain or shine, cold or heat
We’re chasing goals on tired feet
One more stop, one more mile
One more reason to wear that smile
⸻
(Bridge)
This ain’t just a job…
This ain’t just a crew…
It’s the hand on your shoulder when life gets heavy
The voice saying,
“I got you, brother.”
⸻
(Final Chorus)
We’re Wilmington Warriors, hear us loud and clear
We earned every scar and every year
Through the storms, through the struggle, through the pain
We’ll show up tomorrow and do it again
Warriors…
Warriors…
Built from grit…
Built from faith…
Built from sweat…
Built to last…
⸻
(Outro – band drops, crowd singing)
One team…
One mission…
One family…
Wilmington Warriors.
