Reclaim Our Worth (Starlight Pop Anthem)

[Verse 1] They measure us all by the clocks on their wall By the sweat on our brow, demanding more than our all They pay for the time, but not the ache in our spine Leavin' bits and pieces of our souls behind Where's the value in patience, spreadin' light in the dark Re-ignitin' the fire when you’re barely a spark The healing, the guidance, the creation, and flame All stripped of their worth and twisted into our shame We’re taught from the cradle to fall into line Selling our SOULS for false hope, shattered dreams, and a dime. [Pre-Chorus] They take from the bottom, spiral it straight to the top A glutton.... a demon.... that don't know when to stop Emptyin' promises, fillin' pockets with debt Taking back what was earned, before the ink's even set Ignorin' who bears the burden, who built the floor Got us fightin' for scraps while they keep takin' more. [Chorus] Why don't we stop feeding a dragon that’s dead?!? And start growing gardens of our own instead? To share and preserve, to love and uphold Placin' value in each other, not in paper and gold! Let's reclaim our worth, standin' our ground Flip the whole system inside out, upside-down and around Stand up to the shadow, stand strong in our light Remember our WORTH, see the truth and unite! [Verse 2] I’m not talking 'bout ghostin', or burnin' the street I’m talking 'bout standing on our own two feet Stop sendin' the fuel to the tower above Start directin' energy to forgiveness and love Put the power in the hands that are workin' the dirt Keepin' all of us goin', mud and grease on our shirts Support local talent, passion, wisdom, and time Put the top-heavy structure of the past behind Why keep paying tribute to a throne in the sky That ignores the foundation, waitin' for it to die? [Pre-Chorus] They take from the bottom, spiral straight to the top An ungrateful demon, drainin' out every drop Emptyin' promises, fillin' pockets with debt Taking back what was earned, while the ink is still wet Ignorin' who bears the burden, who forged their crown Tryin' to summon a storm, just to watch us all drown [Chorus] So let's stop feeding the dragon—it's DEAD!!!! And start buildin' somethin' beautiful instead! To share and preserve, to love and uphold Placin' value in each other, not in paper and gold! Let's reclaim our worth, stand our ground Turn the whole system inside out, upside-down and around Stare down the shadow, revealing truth with our light Reclaiming our SOUL, let our spirit take flight! [Bridge] It starts with a resonance, a shift in the eye Refusing to harmonize with their lie!! If we don't try to change, then we can't make the shift We’ll just keep fallin' deeper down an infinite rift Our skills are unique, our ideas are all real! That’s power their system can never repeal We are the foundation, the soil, the all Without us, their tower will naturally fall! [Guitar Solo / Building Energy] We'll watch the tower tumble! Shake it down to the core See the system crumble!! Shake it up even more Let the foundation rumble! [Chorus] We gotta stop feeding the dragon, it’s dead!!!! Let's build a foundation of our own instead! To share and preserve, to love and uphold Placin' value in each other, we can't be bought or sold! Reclaim our worth, plant roots in OUR ground Turn the whole system inside out, upside-down and around Denounce the demon, uniting hearts with our light Take back our LOVE, it's our God-given right! [Outro] Reclaim our worth… Reclaim our soil… No more bleeding For endless toil. Stand together… Rebuild the floor… We deserve So much more Reclaim our light Reclaim our love Reclaim our life We are one
