[Verse 1] When we were young The sky wasn’t warning Nobody knew what would come with the morning We stepped into the world with both eyes wide open No master plan No grand design Just restless hands and a crooked spine And somehow the chaos began to feel like home [Chorus] We didn’t wait; we built We didn’t bend; we willed We didn’t wait; we built We didn’t break; we held [Verse 2] Back in those days It was just a spark No golden roads, no map through the dark Just trust and time and sleepless nights All the names we knew Some still matter And the old mistakes Well We let them scatter We kept our heads down and turned our faces inward [Chorus] We didn’t wait; we built We didn’t bend; we willed We didn’t wait; we built We didn’t break; we held [Bridge] We’re not beginnings And we’re not endings Just something stubborn that survives the bending We’re not beginnings And we’re not endings Feet on the ground, still growing from the inside out [Chorus - final, fuller] We didn’t wait; we built We didn’t hide; we filled Every crack, every room, every space With something that was real We didn’t wait; we built No promises, just proof We didn’t wait; we built And we’re still building [Chorus - final, fuller] We didn’t wait; we built We didn’t hide; we filled Every crack, every room, every space With something that was real We didn’t wait; we built No promises, just proof We didn’t wait; we built And we’re still building
