⸻ [INTRO — HUMAN MOMENT] (quiet footsteps, one hand clap) I came here with nobody… (single clap) I left with a thousand voices. (beat begins) ⸻ [VERSE 1] I was standing at the edge Watching everybody move Holding onto yesterday Trying to find something new Didn’t know a single name Didn’t know where I belonged Then someone turned around and said, “Come on, sing along” A stranger gave me a smile Like we had met before Funny how a crowded place Can open a lonely door ⸻ [HOOK — SIGNATURE LINE] I came here alone Now I know every voice Hands above us We are making the same choice ⸻ [CHORUS] Hands above us Raise them like you found your way home Every broken piece behind us Doesn’t have to break alone Hands above us Feel the heartbeat in the crowd We were strangers five minutes ago Now we’re singing it out loud ⸻ [POST-CHORUS — CROWD MOMENT] Hey! Hey! Who brought you here? Hey! Hey! The people standing near! ⸻ [VERSE 2] There was a girl from another city A man who lost his way A kid recording everything To remember this someday Different languages around me Different stories in the air But when the rhythm started moving Nobody needed to explain We weren’t chasing perfection We weren’t trying to be seen We were just a thousand people Finding what we need ⸻ [CHORUS] Hands above us Raise them like you found your way home Every broken piece behind us Doesn’t have to break alone Hands above us Feel the heartbeat in the crowd We were strangers five minutes ago Now we’re singing it out loud ⸻ [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK] (Unique festival section) * Single clap repeats * Additional crowd claps enter every 2 bars * Afro percussion joins * Vocal chant builds: One voice… One rhythm… One moment… ⸻ [BRIDGE — EMOTIONAL RELEASE] Maybe we don’t need forever Maybe we just need tonight Maybe every lost connection Can become a little light Maybe somewhere in the crowd Someone else feels just like me Looking for a place to belong Looking for a reason to believe ⸻ [FINAL CHORUS — GLOBAL MOMENT] Hands above us Higher than we’ve ever been All the strangers around us Feel like family again Hands above us Let the whole world hear the sound A thousand different stories One heartbeat in the crowd ⸻ [OUTRO — LOOP] (single clap returns) Hands above us… (crowd fades) I came here with nobody…
