[Verse 1] When the lights went out And the grown-ups ran out of answers We found a different classroom Everybody had a roadmap Folded neat and passed around Like the world could fit in straight lines Like every lost thing could be found But those maps led somewhere different And our roads were hard to name So we searched beyond the living room For a language of our own to claim Late night glow and paper kingdoms Blue lit moons and dragon skies Finding pieces of ourselves In a thousand borrowed lives Not from kings with chosen saviors Not from legends drenched in gold But the ones who watched from shadows Had the stories we could hold We learned our hearts from stories in the glow From all the hidden roads they never showed The heroes weren't real, but they carried us through Piece by piece, we built something true [Chorus] Secret classroom Lessons still shining through the night They couldn't tell us who to be But they taught us how to dream [Verse 2] From the watchers in the forest From the monsters learning grace From the quiet souls still searching For a place to renew their faith From the ones who stood beside them Never written as the star Yet somehow in their small reflections We could see just who we are Every page and every picture Every tale that slipped between All the cracks of expectation Where the brightest truths were seen Not from crowns of grand destinies Not from voices carved in stone But the heart still asking questions Trying to find their way back home We learned our hearts from stories in the glow From all the hidden roads they never showed The heroes weren't real, but they carried us through Piece by piece, we built something true [Chorus] Secret classroom Lessons still shining through the night They couldn't tell us who to be But they taught us how to dream [Bridge] Maybe they were only stories Ink and pixels, light and sound Maybe they were never answers Just the clues we gathered round When the world was far too heavy When the truth was hard to see They left fragments in the darkness For the people we'd become To read and we built the rest Piece by piece Page by page Heart by heart Page by age Piece by piece Page by page Heart by heart [Chorus] We learned our hearts from stories in the glow From all the hidden roads they never showed The heroes weren't real, but they helped us survive Piece by piece, we've got the rest to life Secret classroom Lessons still shining through the night They couldn't tell us who to be But they taught us how to dream The classroom fades The lessons stay The heroes weren't real But the pieces were
