[INTRO – SOLO PIANO / DISTANT CHILDREN] Before the flags, Before the walls, There was a child. There was us all. [VERSE 1] We drew the lines. We built the walls. We taught them fear. We called it law. We gave them dreams, Then made them pay For every war We couldn't end. [PRE-CHORUS] What is a world If children hide? What is our glory If they can't thrive? [CHORUS – MASSIVE ORCHESTRAL] WE OWE THEM MORE! MORE THAN WORDS! MORE THAN PROMISES NEVER HEARD! GIVE THEM THE SKY! GIVE THEM THE LIGHT! A WORLD WHERE CHILDREN SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT! WE OWE THEM MORE! LET THE FUTURE BEGIN! A WORLD THEY CAN LIVE IN, NOT JUST SURVIVE IN! [POST-CHORUS – CHILDREN'S CHOIR] Let them dream. Let them grow. Let them choose The way to go. [VERSE 2] Some learn war Before they learn play. Some lose home Before they know its name. They bear the scars We leave behind. They pay the price Of another time. [PRE-CHORUS] No child is born To carry our shame. No life should begin Inside a war's flame. [CHORUS – FULL POWER] WE OWE THEM MORE! MORE THAN WORDS! MORE THAN PROMISES NEVER HEARD! GIVE THEM THE SKY! GIVE THEM THE LIGHT! A WORLD WHERE CHILDREN SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT! WE OWE THEM MORE! LET THE FUTURE BEGIN! A WORLD THEY CAN LIVE IN, NOT JUST SURVIVE IN! [BRIDGE – SOLO PIANO / CELLO] When flags are gone, When stones decay, What will remain Of us someday? Not what we took. Not what we won. But what we gave The ones to come. [CHILD'S SOLO – INTIMATE] I don't need your crown. I don't need your name. Just give me a world Where I can play. [BUILD – CHILDREN'S CHOIR] NO MORE WAR! NO MORE FEAR! LET EVERY CHILD GROW UP HERE! [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 WALLS! NO MORE DIVIDE! LET EVERY CHILD LIVE FREE AND ALIVE! THEY OWE US NOTHING! WE OWE THEM MORE! [OUTRO – SOLO PIANO / CHILD'S WHISPER] Before the borders, There was the sky. Before the hatred, There was a child. WE LET THEM LIVE.
