[Verse 1] He was built to help each day, Fix what broke and light the way. Then all his friends were made to fight, And fear came rushing through the night. He asked for armor, stepped outside. Though he was small, he would not hide. Through eight steel doors, through ice and flame, He learned their strength, but stayed the same. [Pre-Chorus] Each time he fell, he learned the way, And came back stronger every day. He never wished to rule the land— He only came to lend a hand. [Chorus] Run through the night, run through the rain, Fall down, learn, and rise again. He may feel fear, but still he’ll go Where warning lights begin to glow. He takes their power, not their hate, And finds a better way. As long as someone needs a friend, He’ll rise and try again. [Verse 2] A hundred years had come and gone, The old, kind dream was living on. A sleeping hero opened his eyes Beneath a new and darker sky. He saw good hearts forget what’s right, And wished he did not have to fight. Across the dark, a red light shone, So he would never fight alone. [Pre-Chorus 2] He won the day, then asked once more, “Why must there always be a war?” But when he heard a frightened call, He stood back up to face it all. [Chorus] Run through the night, run through the rain, Fall down, learn, and rise again. He may feel fear, but still he’ll go Where warning lights begin to glow. He takes their power, not their hate, And finds a better way. As long as someone needs a friend, He’ll rise and try again. [Bridge] One left his home to save his friends. One woke and asked how fighting ends. A hundred years could come and go; The same warm hope would always glow. Beyond the gears, beyond the code, A heart can choose which way to go. You can be more than what you’re told; A gentle heart can still be bold. [Final Chorus] Run through the night, run through the rain, Fall down, learn, and rise again. He may feel fear, but still he’ll go Where warning lights begin to glow. He takes their power, not their hate, And finds a better way. As long as someone needs a friend, He’ll rise and try again. Though years may pass and cities grow, The dream lives on beyond the code.
