[Verse 1] I log in and the laughter's rolling, Someone's got us all in tears. One more joke and there goes my evening, These are hours I love to spend here. We bring our stories, bring our madness, Cheer each other when we try. Every little win gets louder With this whole crew on your side. [Pre-Chorus] When the day gets heavy, You can lay it down. There's a place here at the table, There's a reason I stick around. [Chorus] We are the Monastery! Stand up and sing it loud! We lift each other higher, And I'm proud to be part of this crowd. We laugh until we're crying, We stand beside our own. We are the Monastery— And we make this place a home! [Verse 2] Someone shares what they've been making, Someone says, "You've got this, friend." When the first attempt falls over, We're right there to try again. Some days all we've got is laughter, Some days we just need an ear. You don't need the perfect words here, You can tell us why you're here. [Pre-Chorus] When there's cause to celebrate, We're the first to raise a cheer. When you need someone to listen, Pull up close, we're staying here. [Chorus] We are the Monastery! Stand up and sing it loud! We lift each other higher, And I'm proud to be part of this crowd. We laugh until we're crying, We stand beside our own. We are the Monastery— And we make this place a home! [Bridge — half-time, building] All the time we've spent together, All the joy we've passed around, Every "tell me how you're doing," Every time we've heard each other out. I'd choose these days all over, Every story, every grin. Here's to showing up for others— Here's to letting others in! [Final Chorus — full band, triumphant] We are the Monastery! Stand up and sing it loud! We lift each other higher, And I'm proud to be part of this crowd. We laugh until we're crying, We stand beside our own. We are the Monastery— And we make this place a home! [Outro — communal chant] Stand up! Sing it loud! I'm proud to be part of this crowd! We are the Monastery! We make this place a home! [Ending Bridge — soft out]
