[Intro] [crowd chants] [drums building, guitar picking] There’s a crack in the pavement where the dream fell through But we’re still standing here like we always do Hands in the dirt, hearts in the fight Trying to turn the dark into light [Verse 1] Jake works nights at the edge of town Two worn boots and a paycheck down Mama says “son don’t lose your flame” But hope feels thin when the rent’s unpaid But every scar tells a story loud Every fall makes the fighter proud Every mile that nearly broke Still left a spark in the smoke [Pre-Chorus (iconic rhythmic build)] Whoa-oh, don’t you let it fade Whoa-oh, every step we made Whoa-oh, every tear we cried Brought us closer to the other side [CHORUS (big sing-along)] We’re holding the line tonight Hands to the sky, hearts on fire We’re holding the line tonight Climbing higher and higher and higher Even when the world says no Even when the cold winds blow We’re holding the line tonight And we’re never letting go [Verse 2] Sara’s chasing a neon dream Small-town girl in a big-city scene Every “no” hits like a stone But she keeps dialing that microphone Every door slammed in her face Still she runs in the same damn race Cause somewhere past the doubt and fear The moment’s getting near [Pre-Chorus (same structure)] Whoa-oh, don’t you let it fade Whoa-oh, every step we made Whoa-oh, every tear we cried Brought us closer to the other side [CHORUS] We’re holding the line tonight Hands to the sky, hearts on fire We’re holding the line tonight Climbing higher and higher and higher Even when the world says no Even when the cold winds blow We’re holding the line tonight And we’re never letting go [Bridge (crowd moment)] If you’re broken — sing it loud If you’re lost — stand your ground If the world tried to push you down WE’RE STILL HERE NOW [Final Chorus (huge stadium chant)] WE’RE HOLDING THE LINE TONIGHT Hands to the sky, hearts on fire WE’RE HOLDING THE LINE TONIGHT Take us higher and higher and higher Even when the world says no Even when the cold winds blow WE’RE HOLDING THE LINE TONIGHT And we’re never letting go WE’RE HOLDING THE LINE TONIGHT Hands to the sky, hearts on fire WE’RE HOLDING THE LINE TONIGHT Take us higher and higher and higher Even when the world says no Even when the cold winds blow WE’RE HOLDING THE LINE TONIGHT And we’re never letting go
