[Pre-Chorus]
But I’m tired of watching it happen
From the couch, from the screen, from the side
If the future’s hanging by a fraction
Why are we acting like we’re blind?

[Chorus]
Stand up, eyes open
We’re done being broken
Every voice together
Turning cracks into a door
Hands high, hearts spoken
We are not a slogan
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for
To tear down the chaos
And rise against the rot at the core
Stand up, eyes open
We won’t take it anymore

[Verse 2]
They gamble with our daylight
Counting profit, not the cost
They sell us cheap distractions
While they stack what we have lost
But anger on its own
Is just a match without a flame
Till we lift it to each other
Call each other by our names

[Pre-Chorus]
What if courage starts in the quiet
In the “me too,” in the “I’m with you”
What if power looks like a riot
Made of kindness cutting through

[Bridge]
This is for the kids who learned
The world is tilted, rigged, unfair
This is for the ones who burned
Just for daring to care
We are more than numbers, more than votes
More than boxes they control
We are breathing, beating notes
Of one unbroken, rising whole (oh)

[Chorus]
Stand up, eyes open
We’re done being broken
Every voice together
Turning cracks into a door
Hands high, hearts spoken
We are not a slogan
This is the moment we’ve been waiting for
To break through the chaos
And shut down every crooked war
Stand up, eyes open
We won’t take it anymore

[Outro]
Stand up
Eyes open
All of us
One motion
Stand up
Eyes open
We’re the change
And we’re not letting go (hey!)

[Verse 1] News on in the kitchen Sirens on repeat Scrolling through the wreckage Like it’s all a distant dream Another crooked handshake Another quiet buy and sell We’ve been sipping from their stories Saying “guess that’s just the world” [Pre-Chorus] But I’m tired of watching it happen From the couch, from the screen, from the side If the future’s hanging by a fraction Why are we acting like we’re blind? [Chorus] Stand up, eyes open We’re done being broken Every voice together Turning cracks into a door Hands high, hearts spoken We are not a slogan This is the moment we’ve been waiting for To tear down the chaos And rise against the rot at the core Stand up, eyes open We won’t take it anymore [Verse 2] They gamble with our daylight Counting profit, not the cost They sell us cheap distractions While they stack what we have lost But anger on its own Is just a match without a flame Till we lift it to each other Call each other by our names [Pre-Chorus] What if courage starts in the quiet In the “me too,” in the “I’m with you” What if power looks like a riot Made of kindness cutting through [Chorus] Stand up, eyes open We’re done being broken Every voice together Turning cracks into a door Hands high, hearts spoken We are not a slogan This is the moment we’ve been waiting for To tear down the chaos And rise against the rot at the core Stand up, eyes open We won’t take it anymore [Bridge] This is for the kids who learned The world is tilted, rigged, unfair This is for the ones who burned Just for daring to care We are more than numbers, more than votes More than boxes they control We are breathing, beating notes Of one unbroken, rising whole (oh) [Chorus] Stand up, eyes open We’re done being broken Every voice together Turning cracks into a door Hands high, hearts spoken We are not a slogan This is the moment we’ve been waiting for To break through the chaos And shut down every crooked war Stand up, eyes open We won’t take it anymore [Outro] Stand up Eyes open All of us One motion Stand up Eyes open We’re the change And we’re not letting go (hey!)
