Verse 1 Everybody wants the spotlight nobody wants the load everybody loves the victory few walk the broken road some stay after midnight when the whole thing comes apart quiet hands and tired eyes still building with their heart ⸻ Pre-Chorus You don’t always see them they don’t ask for praise they just keep showing up when everybody fades ⸻ Chorus Somebody’s gotta stay when the whole thing shakes somebody’s gotta build what the world breaks brick by brick day by day hope looks ordinary most of the way ⸻ Verse 2 Not all heroes look heroic not all leaders speak loud sometimes strength looks like a father still standing in the crowd sometimes it’s a woman holding everybody else together teaching people how to heal through the hardest weather ⸻ Pre-Chorus And every little kindness every burden shared becomes another reason somebody knows you cared ⸻ Chorus Somebody’s gotta stay when the whole thing shakes somebody’s gotta build what the world breaks hand in hand side by side nothing strong was ever built without sacrifice ⸻ Bridge Maybe love is being faithful when it would be easier to leave maybe changing the whole future starts with helping one believe all the walls that divide us all the fear we inherited start to crack the moment people choose repair instead ⸻ Final Chorus Somebody’s gotta stay when the whole thing shakes somebody’s gotta build what the world breaks stone by stone heart to heart that’s how broken generations finally restart ⸻ Outro Not the loudest not the fastest just the ones who stayed
