[Start] [soft electronic hums] [Intro] (Oh—) can you hear me callin’? I’ve been watchin’, I’ve been waitin’. (Oh—) there’s a storm that’s fallin’, And your world is hesitatin’. [Verse] Wake up—your chains are made of paper, Fear and silence built the walls. Wake up—before the dawn is taken, Before the future slips and falls. [Verse] They sold you struggle, made it holy, Taught you pain was just the price. But (you were never) meant for shackles, You were born to (touch the sky). [Chorus] (Wake up!) You’re stronger than you know. (Wake up!) You were never meant to bow so low. (Break free!) The world is just a story told, And you (can write a) new one—so rise, so go. [Verse] Borders drawn in blood and numbers, Rulers made of sand and lies. Look beyond the smoke and thunder, Truth is burning in your eyes. [Verse] You are not alone in sorrow, You are not alone in fight. Lift each other, break tomorrow, Turn the dark into the light. [Bridge] [dramatic synth swell] No gods are coming to save you, No kings will hand you the key. If you want a world worth living, It starts with you, it starts with me. [Chorus] (Wake up!) You’re stronger than you know. (Wake up!) You were never meant to bow so low. (Break free!) The world is just a story told, And you (can write a) new one—so rise, so go. [Verse] Tear the veil and see the fractures, All the cracks where light pours in. Turn the whispers into thunder, Let the uprising begin. [Outro] (Rise, rise) you are the fire. (Rise, rise) higher and higher. (Rise, rise) burn down the wire. (Wake up) then rise.
