[Intro – Spoken, over acoustic guitar] Twenty-five days, three Florida cities, A Kiwi with a mission and a suitcase full of dreams. I came to follow the money, But I found something worth more than gold. [Verse 1] Left Christchurch behind, crossed the ocean blue, Touched down in Orlando with a job to do. Goliath had fallen, but the questions remained, Three hundred million dollars and a lifetime of pain. From the streets of Apopka to a stranger's front door, I was chasing down answers, still searching for more. They can hide all the money, they can bury the truth, But there's an army of Avengers coming after you. [Pre-Chorus] I wasn't chasing sunshine, I wasn't chasing fame. I came to stand beside the victims, And call the scammers by their names. [Chorus – Full band] Twenty-five days in America, From Orlando to the Tampa lights. We came together, stood as one, To bring the hidden truth to light. Celebrate the highs, ride the lows, That's how the story goes. You can knock me down, you can silence my voice, But you can't stop the road I've chosen. Oh, my Avengers, don't you know? We celebrate the highs and ride the lows! [Verse 2] Caught a bus to Sarasota, didn't know a soul, Then an Avenger came to get me, with a heart of gold. A flash car, dinner, strangers sharing stories of their lives, Fifty years together, love still shining in their eyes. Another friend bought a cable, just a little thing, Got my second screen working, let the livestreams begin. And Bobby Lane, four years of friendship through a screen, Finally shook my hand, like we'd always been a team. [Pre-Chorus – Female harmony] It's not the miles you travel, Or the places that you see. It's the people standing with you, Who become your family. [Chorus] Twenty-five days in America, From Sarasota to the Tampa lights. I came here fighting scammers, But found friends who'd stand and fight. Celebrate the highs, ride the lows, That's how the story goes. You can knock me down, you can silence my voice, But you can't stop the road I've chosen. Oh, my Avengers, don't you know? We celebrate the highs and ride the lows! [Verse 3 – Driving rock beat] Seventy scam fighters gathered in one place, Twenty-two creators putting pressure on the fakes. Ninety million followers, a message spreading wide, Twenty-nine million in reported fraud prevented in five nights. Jim Browning shared his stories, Erin West was standing tall, Different ways of fighting, but one mission for us all. We followed all the money, we exposed the lies, And built an army of friendships underneath those Florida skies. [Bridge – Music drops to piano] Then November fourth came calling, And my channel disappeared. Years of work gone in a moment, Everything I'd built through tears. Half my income hanging by a thread, All those warnings left unsaid. But when I looked around that room, My Avengers stood with me instead. [Female Vocal – Soft] When the lights go out, And the world turns cold, You've got friends beside you, Who won't let go. [Male Vocal – Building] They can take away my channel, They can try to shut me down. But the truth doesn't disappear, When there's an army standing round. [Final Chorus – Powerful male and female duet] Twenty-five days in America, Three cities and a thousand memories. We stood together, fought for strangers, And discovered what friendship means. Celebrate the highs, ride the lows, Through every storm, our courage grows. You can take my platform, you can steal the light, But you'll never stop the Avengers' fight! From New Zealand to the USA, We're exposing scams every single day. Oh, my Avengers, now I know, We'll celebrate the highs and ride the lows! [Outro – Acoustic guitar, emotional] I never went hungry, never slept without a bed, Because of all the kindness and the helping hands extended. Some gave me a ride, some gave what they could spare, Some were strangers yesterday, now they're friends who truly care. From Orlando through Sarasota, To Tampa and the journey home, I crossed the world to fight for others, And found I wasn't fighting alone. [Spoken – Final line] I'm Danny de Hek. I came to America looking for answers. I came home with my Avengers. And we're only getting started.
