[INTRO – SOLO PIANO / DISTANT CHILDREN'S VOICES] Before the lines were drawn, Before the flags were raised, A child was born beneath the same stars That watched our wars unfold. A world was waiting. A life was beginning. [VERSE 1] We built our kingdoms out of stone, And called the broken earth our own. We drew our borders through the sun, Then taught our children where to run. We gave them names, we gave them dreams, Then drowned their voices in our screams. And every promise left undone Becomes the world they wake up in. [PRE-CHORUS] Tell me, what is all our glory worth If we leave no heaven here on Earth? [CHORUS] WE OWE THEM MORE! MORE THAN WORDS, MORE THAN GOLD! MORE THAN THE STORIES THAT WE'VE ALWAYS TOLD! GIVE THEM THE SKY! GIVE THEM THE LIGHT! A WORLD WHERE NO CHILD HAS TO FEAR THE NIGHT! WE OWE THEM MORE! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! THE FUTURE IS THEIRS! THE FUTURE IS OURS TO GROW! [POST-CHORUS – CHILDREN'S CHOIR] Let them dream! Let them fly! Let them reach beyond the sky! Let them live! Let them be! More than what we used to be! [VERSE 2] Some learn the language of a gun Before they ever see the sun. Some carry names of those they've lost, And pay for wars they never fought. No child should inherit pain, No soul be born to wear a chain. They didn't choose the world we made. They shouldn't pay the price we paid. [PRE-CHORUS] If we can change the course of time, Then let this generation draw the line. [CHORUS] WE OWE THEM MORE! MORE THAN WORDS, MORE THAN GOLD! MORE THAN THE STORIES THAT WE'VE ALWAYS TOLD! GIVE THEM THE SKY! GIVE THEM THE LIGHT! A WORLD WHERE NO CHILD HAS TO FEAR THE NIGHT! WE OWE THEM MORE! LET THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW! THE FUTURE IS THEIRS! THE FUTURE IS OURS TO GROW! [BRIDGE – SPARSE PIANO] And when our names Are washed away, When all our monuments Turn back to clay, What will remain? What will we leave? A thousand flags? Or a world where children breathe? [CHILD'S SOLO – SOFT] I don't want your crown. I don't want your throne. I just want a place I can call my home. [BUILD-UP – CHILDREN'S CHOIR] NO MORE WALLS! NO MORE CHAINS! NO MORE CHILDREN BORN INTO PAIN! NO MORE FEAR! NO MORE WAR! WE CAN BE BETTER THAN WE WERE BEFORE! [ONE-BEAT ABSOLUTE SILENCE] [FINAL CHORUS – MONUMENTAL] THEY OWE US NOTHING! WE OWE THEM THE WORLD! NOT A WORLD OF PROMISES, BUT A WORLD OF HOPE! NO MORE FEAR! NO MORE DIVIDE! LET EVERY CHILD BE FREE TO DECIDE! THEY OWE US NOTHING! WE OWE THEM MORE! A SKY WITHOUT BORDERS! AN OPEN WORLD! [FINAL POST-CHORUS] LET THEM DREAM! LET THEM FLY! LET THEM ASK THE REASONS WHY! LET THEM LOVE! LET THEM BE! LET THEM WRITE HUMANITY! [OUTRO – SOLO PIANO / CHILDREN'S CHOIR] Before the borders, There was the sky. Before the hatred, There was a child. And when the world Asks what we leave... [CHILD – WHISPER] WE LET THEM LIVE.
