They said sit down, shut up, fall in line Another cog, another clone, another waste of time But I got fire in my chest and thunder in my hands We're not here to watch it fall — we're here to build again! Brick by brick Stone by stone We're not alone, we're not alone! We're building up! From the ground we rise! We're building up! Open up your eyes! You thought we'd burn it down and walk away? Nah — we're here to stay! We're building up today! They gave us ashes, we made cement They gave us nothing, we made a movement! Every scar's a story, every wound's a door You can't stop people who know what they're fighting for! Hand by hand Heart to heart This is how revolutions start! We're building up! From the ground we rise! We're building up! Open up your eyes! You thought we'd burn it down and walk away? Nah — we're here to stay! We're building up today! The old world's crumbling? Good. Let it go. We got the blueprint for something they don't know A house of love where the hateful can't live A world that gives more than it takes to give! We're building up! From the ashes we rise! We're building up! This is how we survive! You thought we'd burn it down and walk away? We're here! We're here! We're here to stay! We're building up! We're building up! We're building up today!
